While hiking last weekend I came upon this pine tree with a red leaf lying on it and I really liked the contrast of the never changing life filled evergreen with the red dying leaf.

awww…. looks like Christmas! I just bought my hubby a Christmas gift online tonight… it’s going to be hard to wait till Christmas for him to use it… i digress… lovely shot! love the colors, obviously, and love the composition
Ha ya I guess the red leaf sort of is like natures Christmas Tree ornament!
When you see something rare, you can’t help but shoot. This is one of those primary examples. Well-captured and the red leaf stands out very nicely.
It is a fine contrast and a good observation on your part.
Simply perfect! Love the contrasting colors…so true to what we’re seeing in the world around us these days.
I really have to agree with your reasons behind this lovely photograph, the contrast is so amazing. A very nice observation
Very nice, Andy! Are you sure you didn’t put the leaf there yourselfl? (Kidding!!)
It does remind me of Christmas, too. Nature’s ornament - I like that.
Beautiful composition, love the red tones in this leave and the contrasting evergreen tree. Great capture.
Very nice image. I agree with John!
Awesome contrast. Great Capture. You might be able to do something with this shot and Christmas.
If you had planned it the wind would have blown it away. So pretty.
red & green! the perfect combination to announce the coming yuletide season.. great find & nice shot!
Magnificent image! Excellent composition very creative.
This is very appealing. Sweet.
A nice, natural contrast to notice and shoot. This makes an appealing shot. I like the idea already expressed of nature’s Christmas decoration!
The first thing I thought of was Christmas, which is just around the corner. Hard to believe. Wonderful capture, Andy.
Like the tree is holding up it’s hand to show you the red leave! Really cool find!
It’s so cute, Andy.
