Now this is just beautiful. Once again, your strong eye for composition comes into play. The contrast between the disturbed water and the calm upper left is very nice, and the colors are gorgeous!

Another great composition, Jeanne.

Okay, I know I keep pushing you to crank up the sharpness, but distant leaves are an example where there that often doesn't work. Try this with the leaves softer; they look too crunchy to my eye in this version.

Very pretty and your solid compositional sense comes through once again. This is a great example of why blue skies hurt ya - they're just not that interesting. Keep this tree in mind and go back when it's stormy. With dramatic clouds filling the sky, this will be a more vibrant, eye-catching shot.

I'd also encourage you to try the gaussian/fade treatment on this: Do a gaussian blur with a pretty big radius, like 80, then go into edit->fade to about 50%. It can give a nice glow to vibrant colors like what you have here.

Your comment made me chuckls. Yes, if you like it, that IS all that counts. :) I like the plant's angle, but I have to admit the shot overall doesn't do much for me. But I agree with the other commenters that you should keep this technique in your mind for deliberate use!

Reminds me of a very old photo, like something from the 1920s.

Congrats on your OOBie! And a very deserving image, I might add. You've been on quite a roll the past couple of months. :)
