One more at the last minute. Shot with my MX-1. I am really liking this little camera. It is a maple tree in my front yard. It has supplied me with a lot of shots this year.

Two more beautiful entries to close this contest down.

"Officially" closed now.

I'll try to come back with the results as soon as possible.

Today is a special day however and I also have to process a reportage for my employer over the weekend.
I'll do my best.

I already want to thank everyone who participated!
Great entries all!

I've had a really hard time narrowing this down.
To do this, I simply go by how I feel about the image. No analytical, checklist approach for me. Mine is more of a holistic, intuitive and hence, subjective way

As I've already said, and others as well, there are many great entries in this contest.
In fact, there isn't one I didn't like or found somehow less fitting for the theme.
Great work by all who participated!
I give you all an 'honorable mention"

A special mention goes to Eric for still using a defective sensor in an artistic way.
(and for adding Halloween)




You'll notice the rest of my picks are all about leaves by the way.

3rd place
Shared by Jacquot for his straight to the point and creative approach and by barondla for the remaining leaves in the mist. I like the effect mist has on the world.






2nd place
Goes to ivoire for showing in one image the warm colours of the autumn and the aspect of nature fading away.



1st place
Goes to chubasco - Bill.
This beautifully moody image shows the endpoint of autumn where nature has become dead and still.
I guess this appeals to my melancholic nature




So there you have my - very personal - choice.

Congratulations to all the participants, the winners and especially to Bill.

You're up for #84, Bill!

Autumn is actually my favorite season.

Dreary rainy days,
Mysterious mist,
Graveyards,
