Another image of reduds which I recently photographed in the Merced River Canyon. I used Viveza and Color Efex Pro to correct lighting and enhance this image. Any comments are appreciated.

Very nice, Floyd. I like the color contrast in this image with the vibrant spring greens and the contrast from the redbuds.

Beautiful color and contrast. There seems to be quite a bit of wind movement in the fg leaves but, IMO, it adds to the overall mood. Really nicely done

Nice tosee some spring images - this really pops. You have controlled the chaos well. The greens look a bit over-sat and maybe have lost some detail, not sure with this sized version. Very nice.

I like the colors and the contrast between the two colors is very good.

Great color and contrast in this spring woodland scene, Floyd. To bad about the wind movement in those FG leaves.

A beautiful composition, where the elements slowly reveal themselves. Love the vibrance in the colors.

Thank you for all your comments. Just a short reply:
re: fg leaves: no wind, most likely dof problem.
I used "foliage filter" in ColorEfex Pro to increase the greens. I admit I do like more saturation
