The Last Color of Fall

This is the tree I photographed about a week ago, turning from green to the colors of fall. Today, with the tree in sunlight, I realized that most of the leaves are gone. This is the last color we will see as fall comes to an end, and winter approaches. It makes for a more powerful picture I think, to have the bright green lawn as a background. Since the green is a color complimentary to the orange, the differences are accented.
