1. Wow. Those first leaves look like leather. Very tactile!

2. Framing and focal length of the second are impeccable

and the backlight loves the leaves. Incredible.

3. It was a perfect day, blue sky, no wind. The second one is growing on me.

4. Those leaves are majestic.

Proud. Which of course goeth before a fall.

5. It is their true selves, stripped of the chlorophyl.

10. Oh, I'm sorry...

... I must have stepped into the comedian forum on my way to the photography forum! Very clever!!

6. The first one

reminds me of long strips of colored cloth hanging from a line. It's really interesting the way it's framed. The leaves look gigantic, like they could be 3 feet long.

Very cool.

7. Thanks. That's a tree of heaven, a Chinese ornamental tree that was introduced

to the US and went feral.

8. I must be hungry, #1 makes me think of Fruit roll-ups :)

Most excellent imagery.

9. Thanks. Claeys Horehoud candies are my weakness.

11. Very interesting

how imagary can invoke some sort of presumed tactile presence. I adore the angle and perspective of the second picture.

I don't know how to may my post funny...sorry.

12. Thanks. The texture of the leaves is one thing that attracted me, and the gradient.

No need to be funny.
