More fall color

[Dylan]

Fall comes a bit later in Delaware so I had a chance to go out the other day and capture the last bit of fall color around here. I boosted the contrast, hue and saturation in some of these. Feel free to comment on that as my Photoshop skills are lacking.

1:

2: I would really like to get the shadow out of this one but my Photoshop skills are lacking.

3: I really liked the shadow on this one.

4:Note: This is the actual color of the tree.

I hope you like them.

Yes. I like them all.
The weather was GORGEOUS when you went out to take these.
My only nitpick is: you clipped all the trees highest tips off :cry: --- poor trees.

 

[Dylan]

Yes poor trees. In the first shot I wanted to get close enough to really show off the sunlight bursting through. in the second shot I really wanted to show more of the road. Normally I would have got down on my knees to get the whole tree however we had just come out of a really nasty couple of days and the ground was pretty wet. I didn't think ahead and dress accordingly. In the fourth shot I wanted to balance the picture so I included some of the tree trunk and sacrificed the top.

Ok its not perfect but I did most of it with the healing brush and blended from the left (except for the trunk) and did a little "burning" around the bottom of the trunk.
