A find from a walk in my favorite park on a gorgeous Fall day: a curvy vine and one orange leaf suspended by a spider's web, with lovely bokeh in the background. Thanks to the spider for making this composition possible :-)

PP - cropped slightly, levels, increased saturation and contrast, resized, sharpened.

I like it. While the blown highlights certainly contribute to the 'sunny day' feeling, a bit more detail in the leaves would have been pleasant. If the dark border on the left side would have extended to the bottom, it would have helped mimicking the shape of the golden spiral. I wonder if changing ange would have allowed that.

It's funny I was going to enter a similar shot in the foilage challenge. Well done.
