Although fall is behind us, I just now downloaded these pics I took back in early Nov of some fall leaves. I used wide open aperture (f/2) on most of them to get shallow depth of field and try to get nice bokeh.

I like them all.  I especially like the first one, maybe because the tree trunk contrasts with the vivid color of the leaves.

Thanks! I'm not the best at tree identification. I thought it was a type of maple, but sweet gum and maple leaves look similar, so I get the two mixed up. I don't recall seeing any sweet gum balls on or around the tree anywhere. I was just driving down a rural road and saw this fiery tree right next to a karate studio and stopped to take pics of it.
