I believe this was taken on the road from Cataloochee to Big Creek. A larger version is available here.

Nice blend of colors here and the lighting gives a good sense of depth. The new green leaves are lost in the oranges and yellows.

Nice one, Matthew. Love the details in here. What are you shooting with these days? I've missed photographing with the RDU Shutterbug Cartel lately.

The details are so intricate and the different contrasts of the individual trunks give dimension.

Thanks all, glad you like it.

Joe, I'm currently using a Sony Alpha 550 dSLR with various 20+ year old minolta lenses (and a new Sigma 20/1.8 I really enjoy). We definitely need to start back up the Raleigh / Triangle area meetings and outings again. . .
