Path in Crow Island Woods

Behind Crow Island Elementary School is a small woods with a dirt 

path circumventing through it. Just as autumn started the leaves

 in Crow Island Woods began having more crayon-like colors. This

 looked pretty neat at a f/1.8, which gave the leaves a more saturated 

and shadow-strewn texture.  

The path itself had overgrown shrubs on the side and I thought

 that getting a low angle with one of the colorful trees in the background

 would give the photo a more surreal/comforting edge to the woods. I used to

 walk through the woods when I was in elementary school, so maybe with

 this photo I was trying to capture the nostalgia of when I was much shorter

 and found the woods to be more mysterious of a place.
