Autumn Solitude

I passed by this scene nearly every morning on my walk.  I'm glad I got this shot when I did as the next day the leaves were gone, the result of a windstorm.  I wanted the bench to stand out more, but it had not been painted for years.  I went back several times during the day to get different lighting.  There was only so much I felt like doing in Lightroom to enhance the bench without making the scene totally unreal.  I did remove the base of a tree in the upper right hand corner.
