I like photographing dry hydrangea flowers against a background of colourful autumn leaves in a beautiful sunset. This photograph was taken in the winter, but winter last year was very warm and snowless, more of a prolonged autumn. The sun shone through the few remaining leaves on the trees to create a nice background bokeh.
