We've gone a month without rain so in my area of the state I'm not seeing much fall color except dead leaves. So I took this image of a dead palmetto frond next to a live one in my driveway. I used a Direct Positive filter in LR, then slight Topaz Adjust Mild Color Pop and finally used accent edges.

Oh, it was a blur - f/20, 5 sec., ISO 100

Thanks for looking. C&C welcome:)

I like the colors and the child-like, playful look to this. And the low crop.

Nice composition, Cheryl. I love the fanned palm fronds and excellent color combination. :)

Cheryl, I like the effect that the accented edges had on this blur. Nice colors and processing. I could see this as a large print. Nicely done.:o

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Love this. The softness, the colors, the composition, the lightness, the crop. Great abstract.
