Crimson Leaves

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted October 20, 201259 views5 comments

These are some beautiful leaves, that I took last year at the El Paso zoo. Hope you like them. I'll post a completely different version of the same leaves in the art forum tomorrow. Believe me...it looks nothing like this!
Just posted the artistic version..While working on that photo, I felt that I should have increased the saturation and detail a bit in both photos. So, if you have any color/sharpness questions,,, please check out the art forum and see if that helped. Thanks. I appreciate the "look-see" at the other forum, and would love comments on it, too.

Those are some beautiful leaves, Lucy. I like the color shadings in the leaves and especially the details on the front leaf. I did view your posting in Photo Art and I like that one better.. . .it is a very creative fall leaves image! I also liked the increased sharpness and saturation in that image too. Nice lighting in both images and the background shows off the colored leaves well.

Carolyn Thank you so very much for checking out my art gallery version.

I really hope, that anyone looking at this photo will do the same. I decided not to re-post an edited copy here....as I felt, that I'd solved any issues with the art version.
Also, (secret agenda)...I really want folks to see and comment on the art version!

Lovely red grouping of Oak leaves. Although this is very nice, I also like your PA post better because of it's emphasis on the colors and shape. For this version I'd crop some from the right to reduce the dark area and move the main leaf off center. This image does convey a good sense of a warm fall day.
