Description
The things you don't show
The things you will never tell
The things you keep so well hidden
I know them.

The things you let go
The smallest details you forget about
The trail you leave behind
They carry your small secrets

You may feel you are the only one to know
You may think nothing is lost
But as soon as you let go
It's gone

Autumn refusing to change into winter in Tel Aviv, Israel

Taken with the Nikon 8800
Converted to B&W, added some sepia, sharpened, and made a bigger frame than my usuall so it won't feel pressed.

---there are moments that refuse to change---
---people who refuse to change---
---situations when u refuse to feel or do what is meant to feel or do---
---i wanted a bit sad pic for today, cause i am in a weird mood----> I should go home from the place where i am living now, I should wait going home I still feel i am leaving something, someone here I don't want---
---so let the autumn live till the winter comes---

The image itself drew me (i liked the defocused tree in the bg and the very sharp dead leaf), but then the words made me...
I'm sorry, I didn't want to, but they made me...
It really wasn't my fault you know, they just made me...

...made me what? Well, made me it, of course!
Beautiful as always!

You captured this really well. You can just see the struggle the leaf is going through. I like the juxtaposition with the trees being in the backgroiund and the lonesome leaf being in the foreground. The sepia is a nice add, which can also represent autumn and the b&w can represent winter slowly taking over. Very nice.

In fact, It's not the wide angle lens.
It's the Nikon 8800

I had trouble loading the large version yesterday so have come back for another look! Its a really nice shot. I love the way the depth of field has made the background look to unusually shaped and brought attention to the leaf.

i think you were very clever with the composition of the background, it adds more meaning
