    Howdy Mary,

    I really love the colors in this one, and agree with Don,

    kind of threw me when the Image first opened but then

    the beautiful Light came through:D

    Very Nicely Done.
    Take care,

    Howdy --

    Yeah it is different isn't it rolleyes1.gif

    I just had to get a photo of the beautiful colors of the sun going down and there was no way I was going to make it out of town in time. The only space I had to work with was just whats in the photo since there were power lines around. So I had some fun :D

    Yeah, Mary, yeah... Appealing. I feel there are a couple of nits, though, if you don't mind me mentioning them? There appear to be reflections off the leaves in 3 or 4 places which have a brightness and colour I find distracting, and I think I would have preferred all the foreground leaves to be in focus and not some of them to be mixing in with that delicious golden sunset bokeh - more of a silhouete, I guess.

    Hi Neil :D

    I never mind you or anyone mentioning anything about my photos :D That's how I learn.

    The foreground leaves...I don't know why that happened. I know some were moving since there was a wind. You can see some of the movement in them. I have a few silhouette photos in my grouping of this shot. I'll edit one of those and post it.

    Thank you for your input ... :D

    Neil -- I reworked the same photo, but started all over again and bumped up the saturation some too. Probably too much. I like the silhouette effect much better. Thanks for sharing your insight on this -- helped me see things differently :D

    Also did another one too -- I kinda like it. Can see the movement in the leaves tho. Darn I wish it had been a still evening.

    Redo --
