A peek of Autumn

The leaves are beginning to change. Caught sight of this out of the corner of my eye and gave it a shot.

3 shot exposure blended in Photomatix for an HDR. There was a telephone pole and wires running from left to right. I spent some time cloning and healing and was wondering how I did and what you think of the shot overall. Thanks for looking!

Very Nice. Finally someone who doesn't overcook an HDR image. Thanks for sharing and the edit of the poles and wires are nicely done.

I hope you did not touch the leaves. Looks a lot like poison ivy to me.oo

Thanks PixelPusher.

Beautiful!

Without the pole. looks good

Nice job.

great PP!

Great job...Beautiful scene...Excellent processing.

Nice processing, normally I don't comment on HDR photos since they tend to be way over-processed for my liking.

This shot definitely gives the mood of early autumn.

Thanks everyone. Really appreciate the feedback!

Very nice work. Just goes to show you that even posion ivy can serve some purpose

You did a great job with the cloning and healing, like your edited version, perhaps I would of tried to tone down the sun a bit with a gradient. My eye see's two focal points the sun and the leaves.

Well done. I actually like the sun as a draw for the eye.

I really like your shot. Fall colors are one of my favorite subjects!

Excellent cloning. Very well done.

May I suggest cropping the left side of the tree to better balance it with the rest of the picture? See my sample.

I also increased the contrast in the highlights, which makes the sky a little bluer and better defines the nice sunburst.

What do you think?
