This picture was taken in Eugene, Oregon at Alten Baker Park. The leaf was floating by in the current on its way to being deposited in the Willamette River. The tree canopy provided the beautiful colors in the water. The setting sun bathed the leaf in natural gorgeous light.
Shot with a Canon 7D Mark II and Canon 100-400L lens. The settings were 400mm, f8, 1/640 sec., with -2/3 exposure compensation.
