 I was trying to get something for the Bokeh Challenge and ran out of time, took this on the day after the start so here it is in the free study!

I had a couple of hours to kill on a beautiful day so I went to a local park and took some pictures, this one was about the last one taken as I walked out of the park. Great back lighting and some nice colors.

Adjusted levels, cropped, played with saturations slightly sharpened, ran through neat image, add frame.

Post Challenge, wow 61st out of 618 - Thanks, this is an image I really liked when it was finished but I was not sure how well it would do since it is not all that exciting so I am delighted it did so well. Thanks again for the votes and comments!

love the DOF, but I'm not sure about that V-shaped twig in the foreground. Still, it's a good entry for October, so I'll give you a 9.

This photo really epitomizes fall to me. The colors and the lighting are wonderfully captured.

We've seen a lot of autumn leaf photos here recently, but this one here is by far one of the best and most fascinating. Great job!

The white border is a little too thick for my liking but the shot itself is great. I would thin the border a little and it would be perfect.
