After the Rain

I used Simplify, Adjust, Glamour Glow and vignette with several layers and blend modes.

Judy, You are on a roll with this series. All very different yet similar, nicely done!:S3:

I can imagine that once you start really looking at leaves the possibilities seem endless! Here at 8,000 ft I have mostly conifers so I am really enjoying your series. The sycamore seed is a nice addition to the composition of the red leaves. Keep these coming.

Thanks Indranil!

Thanks Nancy! They make good subjects for me. Actually that's a sweet gum pod.

This is my favorite so far. Did you use a polarizer when you shot it?

Another vote, for best so far. Really like this series.

Thanks Dennis. No I didn't use a polarizer since they were in the shade and I had to use higher ISO but at least the 5D Mk II handles that well.

Great range of subjects and detail, Judy! I like this series and all of your variations. :S3:
