Psychodelic Wayne - say it ain't so
Hold on ... I've lost my mind and gone wild! What do you think of this Sumac Silhouette? Not my normal take on the natural world.

Taken in March 2004 with my Elan 7E and Velvia film. :wavey:

Who are you and what have you done with Wayne? ???

Actually, I like this quite a lot - the colors are really interesting, and I like the composition. Thanks for posting!

Nice color, Wayne! I'm not sure if the colors here are what your eyes saw, but when I was shooting velvia, there were several occasions where I was pleasantly surprised at what I got back. Thanks for the post!

Actually these colors are pretty close to the chrome. The only processing was a small bump in the curves to darken the sumac to near silhouette, then I cloned out some very small remaining light spots to complete the process. Sooo, in a nut shell, this is pretty close to what I saw through the lens. Thanks guys!

Wayne, I love the color, and the composition is quite interesting. Nice bold scene! Well done! Now if I could just find my Grateful Dead albums......
