29Oct05 Fiery Tree Top - 7004

Ledyard, CT

Photo a Day, Day 213...Tree in the woods behind our house which stands taller than most and is all reds and orange - also thought the bark on this tree was pretty cool with the large pieces sticking out here and there... The sky was gray though so I took the liberty of changing that by using a "Color Range" selection on the drab gray sky and then using a "Color Balance" correction layer to change the grays to blues..
The pano below was 3 shots taken at the base of this same tree. Love the moss and mushrooms. I really enjoy shooting the panoramic shots however they just seem to get overlooked on the PAD metagallery only about a forth of the views my others get sort of odd...

I like the perspective on this kind of shot and you did a great job with the blue sky!

Nicely done CJ-thought for a minute it was the WA for this--love how the left tree kind of bends towards the other. I thnk you kept all the blue sky for yourself tho, LOL (oops just read the capttion. Whew, I was ready to make a bee line down 395.)

The perspective and colors are really pleasing here. Your presentation (site) is unique and complements your work very well.
