Colours

Have been fascinated by the Orton technique off late. This image on original had sharp rendering of leaves and branches & I felt that a softer, diffused touch could make it better. Hence tried the Orton effect on it (digitally). Deliberately overdid it too http://www.naturephotographers.net/i...icon_smile.gif

Kaushik, I like the Orton Effect here as well. The effect makes the foliage seem light and airy-Has a good look. Also like the intense orange

You seem to have a talent for choosing good subjects for the technique. Colors go well with one another.

Kaushik, this is gorgeous! I love the intensity of the colors with the black BG. Very cool!

Very nice balance to this image. It's an enchanting forest.
