All living things have a circle of life. Birth, growth, reproduction, and death are natural parts of the natural world. We are now during the autumn celebrating the beauty of colorful fallen leaves in lifeĀ“s circle. ...Sorry, if this sounds to sentimental!

Neither the image nor the title really say celebration

I don't know how you did this, but it looks special.

Interesting photo. I like the swirls and overall color scheme. For me though, compared with other photos in the challenge, I don't interpret this as celebration - even though you tried to explain it to me, the viewer, in your title.

Not really sure what I'm seeing here. As far as the colors go, it's great and so is the offset comp of this image.

Oooh now something different at last. yes I like this, it works for me. Maybe push the circle just a little further right and lose that heavy dark band. Good work

Was that camera spin done digitally or physically?

interesting shot of blowing leaves. when i think "circle of life" i think about birth, death, and rebirth. imo, title does not match image (light on the birth and rebirth aspects). what DOES give me cause to celebrate is being able to watch leaves swirling about the sidewalk, though!
in terms of this pic, beyond the challenge, i love it. i love the colors and the exposure and the contrast of shapes (grid vs circles vs pavers picking up the grid pattern again). i love the yellow in the leaves, and how that one grid square and leaf towards the center just anchor the eye in the shot. part of me wonders how this image would look with a wee bit of cropping to center the grid, but most of me really prefers the asymetric layout. so, mismatched title (and i'm being called on that same thing in this challenge, too), but nicely done, and a groovy photo!

Very creative and well done. Did you spin the camera around the center of the image?

The motion you captured is almost hypnotizing. I love this image.
