Leaves on the Water (click on photo for a larger view)
Sometimes its the simple things that catch my eye. This day, the water was barely running in Sylamore Creek, but the fall colors were perfect. I found this small collection of leaves in a small eddy and waited till the sun came around to fully light them. I used a polarizer to help cut the glare from the water and tried many different shutter speeds since there was a slight wind blowing that kept the leaves moving. I ended up using 1/400 to stop the action including the small fibers between the two leaves in the center of the picture.
