Autumn Rain Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Denmark in November is often a damp, dark, soggy place with lots of rain, little sun, all the colourful autumn leaves gone from the trees and bushes, and still one month to go, until the days will once again slowly start growing longer instead of shorter. Did I say *all* the leaves? In the hedge right outside my door a few rosettes of tiny leaves are still tenaciously clinging on for dear life. In spring they're plentiful and light green, but now the remaining few represent all the colours of autumn, but on a very small scale. The biggest leaf in this rosette is about 1.5 cm long.
Treatment: Crop, colour +10, Saturation +10, Lightness -5, USM and resize.

Beautiful and colorful shot. I like the details on the leaves and the way the water brighten the whole thing. Well seen!

Sterk og flott fargekomposisjon, elegant opptak, god fokus på det sentrale motiv. Bra jobbet!

hoi Bente.

I like your autumn shot. It's colorful, and the details are very nice. Maby you can cropped this one some better. But I like the result so it is.

Beautiful! I like the colors and watery texture. Goes to show that even the smallest things about nature, to which we usually don't give a second look can make a delightful sight.
Well done!

A real wow on colours and sharpnes on these spiraea leaves, really superb.
there was another option before you cropped would be to rotate the image so that the salk and leaf tip run across diagonal corners. then crop to suit and if you have to apply burr to back ground.

Et flot billede, hvor den rødlige farve minder om efteråret og den grønne siger at foråret måske er tættere på end vi tror.
