That's a beautiful scene, Matthew. Springtime always seems to fly by and this image makes me want to take a sick day from work to get outside!

Great-looking scene, Matthew. Well composed and wonderful light also.

What sharpening technique are you using? To my eye, it looks a tad oversharpened, but that might have been your intent here to bring out the details.

I'm just downsizing using bicubic sharper and hit it with a bit of low-radius USM.

Probably didn't really need the USM though. . .

I grew up north of Atlanta. This scene, the redbuds and the dogwoods - blooming before the forests get their leaves, is one that I really miss. Thanks for sharing this. Warms my heart.

Matthew, this is a really superb image. Like most of your shots it has great detail and good balance. I really like it.

Thanks Bill.

Our friends the reddies are already gone. I gotta get out and shoot some more doggies while they're still here. . .
