Japanese acer branches against a backdrop of other trees. Took this at different apertures and felt this might be ok ?

Ian:
Wonderful fall color! Like the graduation of red from left to right and the diagonal branches. Only nit is no larger version to feast on this eye candy! :toast:

Nice comp. Seems to have a very yellow cast to the branches though. :wavey:

Beautiful light and color, Ian, and I like the very artistic comp. Regarding the dof, it's a little hard to judge at this size. I like the way the leaves are rendered, but I wish the main branches were sharper. May not have been possible to get the efect you were aftrer, with sharper branches, in a single image.

I think your choice of DOF works great in this image. The repeating lines of the branches sweeping across the frame makes a pleasing composition. I agree there's a color cast in the branches but I think it's natural. It comes from the light filtering through the red leaves.

Ian - Superb Autumn Colors here. Reds really stand out from the diagonals from the greens and yellows in the background. You could think of darkening the branches a wee bit more for a more punchy feel if that is possible in post processing.

For me, it’s a pleasant fall image seen through a window, Ian. Love these colors and light.
