The purpose of these challenges is to encourage us to get out and get the best shot of an assigned subject. It's a great way to enhance your photography skills.
Even if you think you take crappy pictures, please join in. Those of you just reading the forum and not posting, this is your chance to join in and show off.

[important]These challenges are always open to your personal interpretation of the topic. Don't feel obligated to take anything literally. Thinking differently than everyone else might be what puts that trophy in your hot little hands. Good luck![/important]

This month's challenge: "Leaves"

Only rules:
It has to be taken by you.

-frame
-subject
-creativity
-use of color (or lack thereof)
-uniqueness

* Photos taken outside of Upstate NY are welcome for display as long as they are labeled as such.

Thanks Matt...the first photo was taken in January this year...the second set of two were taken this past weekend. Not that much colour around me yet...but it's coming. I'm heading up to Ottawa on the weekend and hope to take some great fall colour photo in the Gatineau Park. :)
