Here's a few more that I had time to process from my trip to Hogback.

And lastly, one of me as I was leaving. I though this spot was perfect for a quick self portrait.

:shock: matt, that first one is amazing! great job! that is the type of leaf photo I wish I could take.

That is really nice. Where is Hogback?

The green in that second photo is so vibrant, did you use an enhancing filter or was it just a great bit of sunlight?

The first pic really turns my crank. How do you get your pictures to look so sharp? Seems to have incredable detail for 165kb.

Thanks everyone!

Scurra, I didn't use an enhancing filter. The sunlight was really great there, and I also bumped up the saturation in photoshop, as well as using two seperate color balance layers, one for the top greenish part, and one for the orange sediment at the bottom.

Cruzin, that's a really sharp lens I used. I'm sure that helps, and shooting at f/11, and the beloved Unsharp Mask

I always sharpen the full size Tiffs, and when I resize them to post I tack on another 500%, 0.2, 0 to sharpen them up again, and sometimes I do it twice if need be.

Core17, Hogback park is in Northeast Ohio, in between the Grand River and one of it's small tributaries, the Mill Creek. It's a really beautiful place. I think I'm going back there today
