The leaves (leafs as we say up here, hockey season) reflect the light while the rest is dark in colour, I prefer the horizontal for showing more.

@JoeB: I think I prefer the horizontal too --though I might slightly prefer the upcoming diagonal shot taken in a different location.

Superb image!. The colours glow against the dark background. The DoF gives the image a 3D like effect.

This image is exquisite! The composition is wonderful and I agree with MaryP regarding the depth of field. Such amazing colour!

This is almost like a tapestry . . the pattern formed by those brilliant leaves. I like the blue cast to the background, too . . a much more complex image than it first appears.
