The mistiness really makes the colors pop. Especially those plants on the left. Very colorful.

This was among my favorites in the challenge. The clarity and color really make for an attractive composition for my eye. It also helps that the two leaves are placed without distraction and are of near-identical size. The placement on the tree makes it unclear to me whether this was a "found" natural growth or two curated leaves carefully placed for the juxtaposition. Not that it matters, visually, but I'd be interested to know. :-)

A lovely indication of fall before the leaves fall.

The passing rain really lends to saturated colors. That orange just pops!

Too bad that your entry got DQ too, I really liked your image, and that was one of my high score.

I shot this as RAW image in 2006; then in 2014 Converted to DNG using Adobe Lightroom feature. I was under the impression that providing RAW or DNG provide means it's unaltered. I am not aware of any usual photo editing software allow RAW and DNG format to be edited and save back again as RAW or DNG.
