Oooooo....leaves....I like #2 a lot. You can smell the forest floor with that one.
I only have a few boring leaf shots...but you've inspired me to post one. Not as creative as your's, but I haven't shot leaves in years and am out of practice (that's my story and I'm stickin' to it )!
-------------------------------
Not too bad for ISO 1600...gotta love the CMOS chip in the XT (and the 20D)! I probably should have shot it at f/8 for a tiny bit more DOF and let the OS do it's thing to compensate for the slower shutter speed, but...oh well...

Nqjudo - 300mm IS; good Lord, thats a serious lens for those shots!!
Here's one that I took earlier in the Fall that I reworked (primarily via cropping). I just like the mood of this one.....
By the way, I just signed up for Smugmug - for any of you thinking about it, its awesome; $30 for the first year with unlimited space! I had a Flickr account previously.
I also just profiled my monitor with Spyder 2 Express; I've been meaning to do this for a long time and finally got around to it. I would recommend this as well.

Michael - Love your shot. Yup, I was out birding and came upon the leaves in the ice and thought that they would be a cool subject. Too bad I couldn't climb a tree or stretch my legs to get a better angle. Maybe next fall
The respect of those you respect is greater than the applause of the multitude.
