Image was taken on a November day late in the afternoon. The setting sun perfectly backlit the tree highlighting the leaves that are just beginning to turn fall colors and the glade about tree. It was taken on an Apple 15 Pro using a 24mm wide angle lens. The exposure was hiked up to increase the highlights and accentuate the colors of the warm sun reflecting off the vegetation. I stood directly in the tree's shadow, which helped to get some texture of the trees bark.
