Spring Bloom - Repost

Large View Available

The mountain sides of NH looked a lot like fall foliage for a short period this spring as blossoms were emerging. I looked for back or side lit hill sides for walls of color. This view was taken during the afternoon atop Mount Major near the Lakes Region of NH. A tiny mountain with some expansive views. No web sharpening was applied, as it seems the detail in the image makes for a crunchy web image with any sharpening applied after size reduction. So, the image was reduced in size. Hope it looks ok, as all of the fine details are interesting when viewing the larger size.

My kind of image, Harry. A wonderful array of colors, and I like being able to see lots of tree forms interspersed thru the image. Processing looks good to me.

Beautiful image Harry. It does look like an autumn image in a way. I love the color and detail.

The large version is a real treat, Harry. The back lighting is perfect for showcasing all those wonderful details in the multi colored spring leaves. Gorgeous work.

This is an interesting look at spring, Harry. One could certainly pump the colors a bit and bring it even closer to fall. I like the understated colors and the overall comp. The lower left corner appears darker and I'm wondering if a very slight vignette, evenly applied, would give this a bit more pop and focus. It could be me, but it feels like it could use a slight clockwise rotation. Just minor suggestions, really nice image.

Very nice fall-looking spring colors. I like Gary's suggestions, the vignetting and the rotation. But minor stuff, nice colorful image.

Here is a slight vignette as recommended by Gary. I do think it helps with the unevenness in brightness. The left corner with the brighter trees seems to be a bigger eye pull than I previously thought - bothers me a bit, but I'm looking over some similar comps to see if there are any better images. Thanks.
