Very nice Knopka! This was a very nice shot and now with your edit it is a beautiful work of art that would look great framed hanging on wall of my home. Love it!!
That is one VERY red autumn tree!
And a beautiful park, with a nuisance of lamp posts (for photographers, not necessarily for walkers after dark!) ... but as it seems, it is possible to just get rid of them. Some can - I would not know how!
Well done.
The improved version IS an improvement!
Icondigital & EscapeTurn, welcome to the forum & thanks for your comments!
And thank you too, LaFoto. This was actually not a park, it was more like a field in the mountains of Vermont with a little plaza, where we went antique shopping.
I used a clone brush in Photoshop to get rid of the pole. I'll try to eliminate the picnic table later, although it doesn't seem like such a big distraction.
Thanks again everybody!
