The Famous Maple bursts with color for a couple of days every fall - and photographers line up for an opportunity to photograph it. It's particularly great timing if you can catch it both at peak and while there are leaves on the moss below. I had come this particular day to photograph The Tree with my medium format camera, and snapped this as a whim. I'd forgotten about the file for a year - I found it in my archives and said to myself, "Not too shabby!" I love this tree so much it is literally tattooed on my arm. True story.

An outstanding shot, full of exquisitely rich colors, textures and forms.
It is excellently composed and lit with superb contrast, luminosity and (de)saturation applied in post-processing.
Congratulations on such a fine image, your many, well-deserved awards and the phenomenal gallery of yours where it is found.

That gold, red and green contrast with the dark of the tree itself, just beautiful!

There is another Japanese Maple at Reed College you may want to explore in the Fall. It is not as magical as this one but is rather less busy. Head out onto the big lawn in front of the college to find some really beautiful trees there, which can be stunning in the Fall.
