New England Fall

[carole wiley]

We don't have much around here for birds but one thing we do have is leaves...lots of red and orange and yellow leaves. This is basically as shot, a bit of contrast added and little else. Taken with the 70-200 f4 at 70mm f13, 1/50+2/3 in AV

Carole,

I really like this a lot but felt it needed a contrast boast. I did it using a local contrast enhancement. USM at 25/50/0 on a BG copy - change settings to your liking. This boasts contrast but does not sharpen due to the large radius.

Beautifully done, Carole, I love the texture. Repost looks good too!

Nicely done Carole,
Love the dreamy feel. The pastel colors are super. It looks like a painting. The repost looks good, with the added contrast; but I prefer your original...personal taste...:D well done...congrats...:cool:

Carole,
I love this kind of image, and you've made a truly beautiful one. Just the right composition with the birch, and just the right amount of pan. I do like the intensified colors from the contrast boost. This is one I'd gladly hang on my wall, at least 16x20.

I agree with the others...the first one is very nice...the repost takes it up a notch. Beautifully done!
