Fall Splendor -- Autumn Clematis & Magnolia Seedpod

The Fall Equinox occurred on 9/21 but did not have time to post.  Fall foilage, blossoms and seed pods have been seen in my neighborhood. Leaves will soon be changing to Autumn colors.  The photo on the left is of an **Autumn Clematis.  This is very difficult to photograph if there is any wind and the blossoms are not all in the same plane.  So if you use a shallow depth of field in a close up photo, not everything will be in sharp focus.  I purposely took this photo in late afternoon to get the "golden hour colors" with side lighting to show more texture.   The image on the right is of a magnolia seed pod.  A slight vignette was applied to this photo to make seedpod more  prominent. 
**The Autumn Clematis (Virginia Bower) was picked as one of the Top 10 images in FB  Photo Nuts Group for the month of Sept.
