Color Of The Season...
...a Fall moment
Click on image to enlarge - © 2007 jim otterstromI took this picture of a landscape tree last Monday at a shopping center along Big Bear Boulevard while Dallas and I were out walking. The gray background is actually the white stucco wall of a supermarket with the sun peaking over the roof. The wind was quite strong that morning, making it difficult to focus on the fluttering leaves, so I took about twenty shots before coming up with a good one. The picture was perfectly fine as taken but I really liked the way it looked after a little bit of manipulation in Photoshop. I applied brushstrokes/accented edges and slightly increased the color saturation which created a rich even-toned graphic image.

That is one spectacular shot, photoshop or not, looks great Jim, thanks for sharing.
Beautiful picture.
That's really lovely, Jim. Looks like something from a greeting card... or a calendar... ahem.
very dramatic. one of a kind.
Wonderful photo! it makes me long for fall, which is slow in coming to Texas.
I lived in CA. 30 years ago- up north. I miss it sometimes.
