This evocative image of a maple tree in autumn colours was created by exposing for a very long time, creating a strong contrast between the clear sky and the moving leaves that distort into blurred yet rather abstractly delineated sub-elements of the image.

It delivers a warm autumnal image for those who want something different anyway.
