"Well....'possum in a gum bush!"

Not really a "possum", and not really a bush, but a gum tree....

Fall has been great this year, but I've been neck deep in putting together a huge slideshow for the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library in Texas for way too many days and have not gotten to shoot much at all. I did get to spend Halloween running around my neck of the Ozarks with the great Texas pro photographer Larry Ditto. Here is one shot I got of a gumball still on the tree, the colors in be background are the leaves of the same tree.

I'm heading south tomorrow and hopefully will get some more shots....

Thanks for looking and Happy Fall!!

Hey Glenn, nice job on shooting a tough (from a dof perspective) subject against a "tie-dye" background. The water drop adds a nice element too.

Glad you were able to get out for awhile. It sucks to always have work get in the way of the important stuff! :wavey:

Wayne,

Thanks. Yes, DOF is the one thing about this image that bugs me a little. But, I was pleased with it and it's already been good to me as a marketable image.
