I keep working on this, then putting it away, then working on it again and then putting it away...

Nice pics, people.

Don't forget, though, that shooting at f/22 often softens focus due to diffraction. Just a tip.

Schmoo, if you don't mind input you might consider duplicating the image on a new layer, increasing the contrast on the new layer, masking it all out and then painting in the leaves turning near the center of the frame to give them a little more pop. Just an idea.

Does a reflected star count?
Taken along I70 in Colorado.

That is definitely an idea. I have about 7 layers on this image with different masks, trying to bring out contrast and color in various parts of the image. If I get a chance and remember I might set this one up under Technique to get some more detailed input like yours!

This picture is some months old. Hope it counts.:D

No special equipment.
Just the "poor" 350 D and the lens I can't remember but it was with the 16-35 or the 24-70.
I think it was with the first lens as I was shooting with the other lens on the 20D.
Aperture: f/22.
Piece of cake
