Autumn forest

[Cheryl Slechta]

I took this in the fall from my back porch. I adjusted levels and Topaz Denoise.

1 sec., f/14, ISO 100, EF100mm,f/2.8 macro lens

Thanks for looking. Suggestions and comments always much appreciated:)

Cheryl, I love the impressionist feel to this. The colours are really beautiful and the slight diagonal of the tree trunk anchors the whole image nicely. Beautiful!
Best,
Nicki

Cheryl, I like it too. The slight curve in the tree and the way the foliage is sweeping in front of it really is lovely.

Cheryl, I like the blur effect and the overall comp on this one. I'm wondering if the tree could use a bit of a reduction in the blue cast it has on it? Try to get it to a more neutral gray?

Cheryl...like the image you created alot..looks like a very painterly blur, I thought maybe an Orton Effect might make it pop a bit...just a suggestion..Have a great day..Paul

Thanks everyone. Paul, I love your repost - I haven't had time to research Orton effect and don't know how to do it. I've always like it when I see it. Hopefully I'll have time to figure it out soon:)
