| The photograph captures yellow maple leaves floating on the surface of the water. Their bright color contrasts with the dark, calm surface, creating a feeling of warmth and peace. The leaves are of different sizes and shapes, some are slightly withered, others have retained their pristine beauty. This is a quiet pond or a small river backwater where autumn leaves have found their last refuge. The atmosphere of the picture is permeated with autumn melancholy and the quiet beauty of withering. It reminds us of the transience of time and the cyclical nature. The light penetrating through the foliage of the trees creates soft shadows on the water, emphasizing the depth and texture of the image.
