Yesterday it was windy out so I decided to do in-camera blurs of fall foliage and let the wind work for me.

This is really good Lady Denise,
I like this very much, it looks like a soft pastel painting...well done...:cool:

[Bill Dix]

Love it, Denise. Just the right amount of blur. I wonder what it would look like with just a bit more black in the reds?

Thanks Gus and Bill, I appreciate the feedback.
Bill, I had already added some black points to the image-this is as far as I felt it could go w/o clipping the darks in LR2- I like both.Thanks:)

[Gus Cobos]

I like the original one the best as is...:cool:

Fall colors and soft light - killer combination! Nice lens and techs, .5 sec HH - well done. The filter provides a subtle look and the ISO=100 quality and small aperture provide great detail and perfect DoF.

[Lance Peters]

Original for me Denise - love it. Big Congrats :)

[Hazel Grant]

Great shot! Mother Nature beats PS!!!

The first has an inviting feel to it. I like the colors and I like the blur while still retaining the leaf.

[Alfred Forns]

Different mood for both and looking great !!!

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Nothing beats the colour of the red maples. Very pretty D. Curious as to the use of the polarizer. Did it help you stop down, or were you using it for reflections (to get rid of)?

Jackie, Thanks- I shot this in the middle of the day and it helped to slow my SS.
Thankyou everyone I appreciate the comments.
