Theme/Open: Autumn Colors No. 2

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...iage_008-E.jpg

From the same shoot as my previous Autumn Colors post but rather than introducing in-camera motion blur as I did then, I went the post-processing route using Topaz Adjust, Topaz Detail and finally, Topaz Simplify. (For an explanation as to why I chose to use Adjust, Detail and Simplify, see my explanation accompanying my Pom-Pom image post of a couple of days ago.)

Image made using my Canon 30D; 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens w/ 1.4x TC (I was testing the lens with the TC giving me 280mm @ f/4.0 as a substitute from taking my 300 2.8 along on a Tony Sweet workshop this weekend.); handheld.

1/25 sec @ f/22; ISO 100; 0 EV; Sunny WB

Hi Ed, Nice use of the various filters and like the way you divided the comp 1/3 orange with 2/3 yellowish.

Ed, this is really lovely. The colors are bold and beautiful and the composition is very pleasing. I am a fan of the Topaz filters myself, and I find myself using multiple filters more and more often. I love the play of light on the leaves. Nicely done!

Another stunner, Ed. I need to get me that software! Love the colors and the overall effect here. It really does look like a soft autumn day and the branches are just enough to anchor the eye to the image.

Beautiful image. I like the colors and the contrast. Excellent use of filters.

Ed, The colors and textures are nice. I like the division in the comp.

I really like the colors, light and reflection. The effect is very nice, the contrast of the leaves and the dark tree branches and trunks is really really nice.

lovely colors and great effect , I liked is very much as posted
