Sweet Gum

This image is the result of a team effort. My wife snapped the image with a Canon G10 (raw) and I did the post-processing. Hope that is OK with the NPN posting rules. If not, Moderators feel free to delete. (Since NM is a community property state, we both own everything 50/50--including copyrights.)

This was taken in early Nov. at Blanchard Springs in the Arkansas Ozarks. The "star" shape of the Sweet Gum leaves was really appealing and this leaf was resting on the stone foundation of an old mill. I applied some vignetting, and played around with curves and saturation until I got something we both liked. Hope you like it too.
