Fall Maple leaves

When I got out of bed this Morning a splash of color could be seen out the window. A few years ago I bought an old used Minolta 600mm f/4 lens. It has become my most prized lens. I used this lens wide open to take this photo while standing on my balcony. To make sure I got detail I manually focused the lens.
ISO = 250, 1/1600 seconds, f/4, full sunlight.
I did not do anything to the colors.

Thank you for you responses. I have a rotating polarizing filter that slips into that lens. I have never used it. Tomorrow when the sun is again beating on that same tree I'll take take this photo again but use the filter and see if improves the colors. I have light to spare!

Beautiful image. Great range of reds, oranges, yellows and greens. Clearly a great lens. Stay well and keep on sharing.

Thank you everyone for looking and responding. I was planning to retake this using a polarizing filter but it looks too cloudy today. Then we are going to get two days of rain. The leaves my be off the tree after that. :=(
Lesson learned. Strike when the iron is hot!
