Autumn Leaves in Sumi-e

Photo taken at Washington Park Arboretum, Seattle, WA.

D200 and 70-200G AFS VR @ 150mm on tripod. f22 @ 1/4, ISO 200, manual exp., spot meter.

Intentionally composed in the field as a tri-color with tree trunks at vertical center: mostly red at left, mostly yellow at right and green foliage along the bottom of the frame. Post-processing, I added multiple layers of photo filters and artistic effects including sumi-e, stained glass and a vertical motion blur. Layer blending finished this piece.
