The subject is autumnal leaves. It must be a photo you have taken to be included in the competition. You may make more than one competition entry.

However, you can display relevant photos or images that were not taken by you, for interest, but you must state that a photo you are displaying was taken by yourself to be included in the contest.

Contest closes on 30 November 2007. Judging will be on the basis of positive and negative reactions for each competition photo. Please feel free, entrants and observers, to make your comments, praise, revulsion, fright, wonder, amazement, whatever, for each entry.

Winner will receive accolade of ‘SETI Leafy Snapper’. May the best man, woman or child win. Good luck to you all.

Please don't stretch this thread and keep images down to 600 x 800 pixels maximum, thanks.

I declare the competition open by entering a photo I have already displayed on these forums, which I took in Sorrento last month.

Here is my next submission. I just love ivy that turns red and purples at this time of year. I took this photo not 20 minutes ago. The lobelia is still showing from the last of the summer baskets.

Nice photo Blurf, and yes Ratava, those shots are over crimson, but I like the blue road. TI the contrast of those increased a bit. Talking about bit, I'd like to bite your apple :)

They are certainly good photos Ratava. Our UK autumn has only just started and the leaves on many trees still green though some are beginning to turn. It's seems late for autumn here and it's still very mild weather - hardly the cold, wet foggy mornings you would expect at this time of year. There are one or two places I have in mind for my leafy shots, but they're not quite ready yet, like Virginia Water and The Silent Pool. My oak tree has is hardly showing and brown/yellow leaves yet, but that's sure to give me some shots later.

This is my Boston Ivy growing along the top of a fence, the leaves turning red and very shortly brown on the floor. As you can see, the shrubs in the foreground, the hedge behind and the trees in the distance still decidedly green.
