Hello, Here is my first picture upload in about 3 years or so with my new camera. Specs: f 3.5 @1/40 ISO-125. No flash used. Taken about midday. I really wanted the crispiness and texture of the bark to contrast with the smooth green leaves. I'd love to hear some feedback.
My impression would be that you over saturated the leaves on the tree and probably the bark a bit as well. I see a ring around some of the edges of the leaves, did you do a decent amount of sharpening on the photo? I understand the concept of the photo but I might have put the lens a bit closer to the tree and watched the post edit. Maybe isolated the tree top and other parts you didnt want sharpened. A mild desaturation in this photo might be worth a shot.
