    Default One more from Asian theme week, "Together"

    This is my favorite "woodys at the pond" shot and I feel lucky to have captured it! I know that many of you will vote to clone out the lone fall leaf but I think that it sort of symbolizes the very last sign of fall and the beginning of the long winter ahead! Maybe it's a stretch?

    I produced a layer, converted it to B/W, Topaz Clean2. Then I erased the layer to expose the ducks and the leaf. Added fillet and frame.

    C&C welcome.

    Nice image and application Dan.

    I like the leaf as you note it adds to the image in my view. However, if it were possible, it would be nice if it were a little more in focus or muted. As is to me it looks more like a moon on first sight. But ...

    Your image ... your vision.

    You are starting to get the hang of this Oriental imaging thing! :D :D ;)

    Dan, this is definitely one of my favorites! I especially like the Topaz Clean layer to simplify it. (And I love the
    leaf:))

    Very nice, Dan! The composition is perfect. I like the leaf because it adds a spot of color that balances the ducks nicely.
