The fall colors are starting in Spearfish Canyon, and on the way to photograph moving water at a slow shutter speed, I was looking for opportunities to work with the colors. The birch-or-aspen-I-can-never-remember-which trunks serve as great anchors in the dark background, while the leaves take their place strongly in the foreground. I like the zigzag pattern created by the negative space around the leaf clusters.
