Magic Maple (repost)

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted October 9, 20042,911 views4 comments

I love the fall. I shot this yesterday at my local Japanese garden. The morning fog was starting to lift and the sun was shining through bathing this maple in soft magical light.

I softened it a bit to match the foggy mood.

I took my other version of this off and reposted this version because it looked too soft after compression the first time, this version is more like the original..

I'm not sure why no one has commented on this. It's very, very good. The winding path gives it great depth, the colors are great (I like super saturations sometimes,) the light is eye catching, it's well metered, and the softening works quite well. It has a bit of an "artificial" look, but it works for me. The mist at the top is a key element.

I like what you've done with this. Very surreal and cool - truly magical. The saturation works well here.

I really like the saturated look. Great shot, the path just draws you in and the digital velvia works very well.
