As seen by the side of the street on South Congress Avenue, a mix of fallen leaves creating interesting patterns. I originally inteded to post this as a color image but there just was not enough color, in my opinion, to make it work. I decided to covert it to black and white since, above all else, I liked the shape and texture of the leaves. Black and white allows the viewer to concentrate on these attributes and not get distracted by color. I still have the color image here as a reference.
