I reckon this is the wrong time of the year for a fallen Maple Leaf. l took this a few years back and re-edited it with Affinity Photo. The 70' tree this is from was in my driveway, and had to go because half of it was hanging over my home, and my wife was afraid it would fall on the house. I looked at it as a free new roof, but the wife won that one.

Photo from my Panasonic FZ18 Bridge camera. This pic looked good in the editor but when I saved it as a jpg it was somehow way oversaturated, while the original edit done with PS7 was fine. I messed around with various settings and until I saved it as a PNG, it looked terribly oversaturated. Don't recall that ever happening before, might be because I edited the PSD file made from PS which Affinity can do normally w/o issue.

Anyhow, I tried a bunch of different backgrounds but none looked good to me, so I stuck with the black BG.

Very nice. The simple black BG sets up the colors well.

Thanks Jo.
It's from a Silver Maple Tree which has light green leaves until fall.
