POD Photo of the Day on Apr 9, 2011

Selected by Ian Hylands - Loving the color in this shot, fall leaves, red and yellow. And the red pants and wheels work great against the yellow. I like the way the trail is just a dirt path through the leaves, and the composition is pretty good too, even with a fairly tight shot...

All that is needed is a splash of purple for a great complementary colour wheel balance. Great shot, and the colours make it!
