A late Autumn

[marcus]

This tree is usually void of leaves by late May. Not so this year. Taken a couple of weeks ago with the kit lens. I'm not really a big flower/nature photographer but I think the colours are incredible. The images are straight off the camera no work at all (although now I think some sharpening and contrast would help the first one). I'm interested to know which one you prefer?





thanks for looking.

I like the second one most of all there. I think it could do with a bit of lightening up and a touch of sharpening, but that's an altogether nice shot.

Good job.

Yeah the 2nd is the better one, the first looks a little flatter but has good DOF.

Thx Nnnnsic,

I've actually taken the first shot and did what you said (+ cropped and contrast adjustment):

[Atorie]

That looks much better, good crop and the colours are more vibrant.

[Nnnnsic]

Much much better.

Now the first one is the better of them, and it looks more like what I'd picture Autumn to be.

Ahhh... memories of a few months ago...

The cropped one does it for me also.

The cropped version looks great.
