Monhegan Island, ME is about 1 3/4 miles long by 3/4 mile wide, but there was only one tree with any fall color on the whole island during the first week of October. We did, however, have lots of fun there late on windy afternoons...
Canon 500mm f/4L IS lens with the 1.4X II TC and the EOS-1D MIII. ISO 200. Evaluative metering +2/3 stop: 1 sec. at f/45 in Tv mode.
Don't be shy; all comments welcome.
I really like the colors and I am glad you found the one colorful tree! And, of course, it is well exposed. However, I am not fond of the level of "bluriness" of it. It makes me a little dizzy.
Love it Artie Might have only taken a some form the left side to keep the corners from being without leafs Really sweet blur !!!
I like it very much I think the colors are bold . I also think you managed to retain the feel of leaves. Good job Artie !
I'd clone in over all the holes myself...but that's just me!
Thanks all for their comments. As this is the side of the tree to our left, it seemed natural to me to leave some space along the left frame edge, and to leave the corners as is, so that is what I did and I like it. If I cropped fromm the left, that would eliminate most of the red leaves there...
Here is a less jangly one for Joanna :) :) :)Quote:

Artie: If I had to choose, I would choose the original. I am trying to figure out what is bothering me and I think it is the blur is both vertical and horizontal. Obviously others really like it and are not bothered by that.
I tried. I too like the first one.Quote:
