Finally some sun, and the transformation to full red of the Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus)

just a little bit where the wind blows hard.

This one's on my list. Like it.

Mathew I love it!

Clearly visible road to Voorburg Train Station

Great minimalist approach Matthew.

Nice John. The creeper is glowing red!

Clearly it is Jakov's photo.

Norway maple, two versions of autumn colours. Classic and IR.

Spectacular colours there, John. Virginia creeper is a reliable provider of autumn colors.

[John Geerts]

Thanks Anirban and Mike. Yes, The Virginia Creeper gives exceptional colours. More enjoyable when the weather is good, with the sun; rain and wind can quickly end the rich colours. Forecast here is not so good now, clouds, fog and rain.

I almost missed the autumn colors this year, not yet developed when leaving Oslo, and leaves mostly blown away when arriving back in Fairbanks. A few fallen maple leaves saved the autumn colors for me, here a few representatives:









(All above with AW1 on a very rainy day, minimal processing)


And last a different species:

The same leaves as in the post #93, and others from the same tree.

The leaves are the side dish for the main course here

By the way, I tend not to care for in-your-face saturation, and I really like Akira's treatments here. 

[Akira]

Thanks, Matthew.

Unfortunately my LCD monitor is fairly old and not calibrated (but the most of the images posted by others here look great without any unnatural rendition). And I always try to keep the natural look on the monitor in terms of the saturation, which may prevent my images from looking over-saturated on better monitors.

Matthew, do you mean all of the photos apart from Akira's or some of them?
I am looking at them again and I am wondering whether I have over-saturated mine?

[Akira]

Jakov, I don't think any images are "over"-saturated.  I generally feel that the degree of saturation is well suited for the motives in virtually all images posted here.  My somewhat subdued color just reflects the entire atmosphere of the environment at the moment of shooting.
