The 2nd pic looks like it has a 'stem' so possibly the Acer, but it does look like a V. creeper too, Obelixx. The leaves look a bit too heavily serrated for that, but I'm not expert enough to know if there are other varieties which have that. I always think the foliage 'hangs' a bit more too, rather than being so open in habit. I'd have thought it would be more heavily coloured by now [if not completely denuded of foliage ] but it depends where the OP is, and when the photo was taken.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
The stems are very fine and the OP doesn't say whether it's tree shaped or a vine so I offered two plausible options. Lots of deep red Virginia creeper covered houses on our adventures across country yesterday but I suspect that after today very few will have any leaves left on.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Thanks, everyone. It is growing here on Anna Maria Island in Florida. It is a single stem-like growth with leaves all along the total length (about five feet). Leaves are still very colorful as shown. Any additional comments or questions are welcomed.
When I looked at this my first thought was definitely Acer palmatum dissectum atropurpureum with beautiful purple palmate leaves. However on closer inspection I ruled this out as the leaves on Acer are opposite and on mystery plant they are alternate.
Neither is it Virginia creeper....Parthenocissus quinquefolia..which is a clinging vine which has 5 separate leaflets...see 1st pic
While Boston ivy ..Parthenocissus tricusidata another clinging vine has 3 lobed leaves...see 2.3.4 pics below
I assumed the plants was either not in UK or pics were taken in spring as this young plant had many healthy young leaves....now we know it is in Florida.
Now I am baffled...hopefully someone will recognise it. I am stuck.
