Spruce abstract
I've driven past this tree a thousand times, but for some reason on this day the light and color really caught my eye. The comp isn't exactly what I wanted, but I had to work around mother nature. I pumped up the colors a little here and I'd like to know if I over did it. Thanks for any comments.

I think it's just right. The mix of orange, yellow and magenta work really well. Great job!

Nice abstract. I know what you mean by driving past the same thing day after day until one day everything comes together...

The blending of tones and textures is very effective and with the colors, it's excellent.
