Ok, I should tell a little story behind the taking of each image. I find it interesting when people say a little more about the image rather than letting the image speak for itself.

So, I was walking up the path towards Hampstead Heath the other day, in London.....(of course), and stopped to set up my tripod and get a shot of these wonderful leaves. I had my head down in my bag fishing around for the cable release etc. I'd just pulled the body out of my bag and switched it on when, bang, 2 feet in front of me was this character, complete with onions, garlic etc hanging off of his bike. I was gob smacked and instead of striking up a conversation, I instinctively drew the camera to my eye, problem was, it was set on manual and had a shutter speed of a second or so. By the time I set it back, he was rolling down the path. Still, at least I remember the shot, and the memory from that day will be with me forever :-)
