Found this pristine scene in a dense New Hampshire forest while enjoying an early morning jaunt.  The sun had not yet risen to burn off the fog, so everything more than several dozen yards in all directions was visually muted. 

I shot from a tripod using Singh-Ray’s color-enhancing filter to insure the leaves’ color really popped against the ghostly white skin of those birches. 

The thing that drew my eye to this scene was the tight stand of three birches on the right, counterbalanced by the single birch on the left.  However, to my eye, it was the intensity of colored leaves hugging the left-most birch in the stand-of-three that chinched the deal.  I pulled out my gear and made this image.
