Another from the Portland Japanese Garden.
I feel kind of appalled by the difference between Flickr and DeviantART. While this is clearly doing pretty well, here, on DeviantART, its success has been rather paltry on Flickr. Here, I have more than 300 faves at the time of writing. On Flickr, 5 favorites and less than 100 views.

An incredible array of color combined with wonderful composition (Featured by ^kkart) |

It is such a great and complete image, there's a lot of red but it doesn't overlap the entire image as there is green as well with some yellow and orange. The sun is such a great bonus to the image as it seems as if that is the source that is giving these beautiful trees and plants their colour.
This is one of those great artworks that the viewer tends to see more the longer they stare at it. At first glance I saw red, then the sun but then the details start jumping out, for instance the way the tree curves and how it looks like veins among the redness of the gathered leaves.
I congratulate you on your DD for it is very well deserved. It's not everyday that truly beautiful works as these get featured or popular so it was quite refreshing to see.
Even in a photograph you have captured how alive nature is. I applaud you for that and truly amazing work!
