Last Leaves in Fall

Due to the high contrast, I overexposed this photo so the leaves wouldn't become too dark. The foggy grey sky now becomes pure white, reminds me Chinese painting.

I think this photo can make a very challenging jigsaw puzzle.

I wish the day was windy so I could do a long exposure and the colors would blend. Now I don't even bother to use a tripod. The micro contrast of the 24mm Nikkor can be a bit overwhelming.

The last burn of the Japanese maple. The sun finally came out in the afternoon.
