Brook with fall colours

The leaves of the trees start colouring into yellow and brown. Fall is coming. It's time for a refreshing walk in the forest! This morning I chose the area of the Hierdense beek, which is a well-known brook that is flowing for 25 km across the Veluwe. While walking along its banks, I became fascinated by two things. At first, the reflection of the fall-coloured beeches in the water and, secondly, the fallen beech leaves that were taken by the current. My photographic objective became clear. On a small bridge I found a suitable position. Camera locked on a sturdy tripod, frame a pleasing composition, and there you go. The necessary shutterspeed of a few seconds is obtained by combining a low ISO speed with a maximum aperture. Here is one of the results of today:

See you in the forest? It's pretty nice out there.
