Fall Picture... C&C please!?!?!

[JMBriggs]

I really like this picture, but it just seems like I missed focus by a bit... Is it that or is it because the sun is behind the leaves? Any thoughts nice or not let me know. ( =

(By the way... It looks over sharpened, but I barely sharpened it at all in aperture using the raw fine tuning. Again is this from back-lighting?)

ISO 200 f5.6 1/500th

I really love the warm fall feeling of it. The branch leads the viewer through the image which makes your composition more than just a center shot of the leaves, nicely done. The fact that some of your leaves in the main branch are at the edge and cut off is a bit of a detraction. It won't print well to an 8x10.

I agree... The tree is a sugar maple so there are little leaves everywhere... If I remember right I was trying to avoid a closer cluster that would have ruined the foreground. I am glad you like it... You don't think it feels OOF?

There are some odd spots of blur that almost look like motion, but I think they are a result of the lens flare. The back lighting and glow to it give a bit of a hazy OOF feel, but it's appropriate for the image. Not really OOF, but that haze you get from that kind of back lighting

Ok well if you can find anything... anything at all I could have improved on in the pic I would love to hear it! I want to learn! Lol.
