Here are a few from the Washington Arboretum, one of my favorite places to visit for fall colors. :D

Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap but memories are priceless.

    Very beautiful colors and a great set of photos Mahesh. The 3rd and the last are super. I like your use of DOF in these.

    Agreed, the arboretum is awesome during fall, looks like it's peaking a little earlier this year than last year. There are some decent colors at the Bellevue Botanical Garden when they peak too (they have a Japanese Garden there, and some other Japanese maples outside the garden).

    Anyway, really nice series, love those colors. The last two are my favorites. Hopefully it's rainy and overcast next week because I think I might hit the arboretum a few times before and after work.

    Mahesh -
    As stated above, beautiful colors. My favorite is #8 with the staircase weaving thru the picture.

    You have quite a variety! I like the bokeh; the simplicity of the leaves but then my mind explodes with all the color of the trees! I don't know know which I like the best - maybe the last one! Another ace!!!! Can't wait to see more.

    Nicely captured, Mahesh. The assault of colors in #14 is simply beautiful. I just discovered the Arboretum a couple weeks ago, despite being a Seattleite for much of my life. And I agree... it is a wonderful place to shoot. I wish I discovered it sooner ....

    Thanks, everyone! If you haven't already, and you live anywhere close to Seattle, I suggest you visit the Arboretum soon as the colors are beautiful and they won't last for much longer! :D

    Ditto everybody else on the great colors. I really like the mix of the green and bright fall colors in #13.
