*Y'ello? Where Am I??*
by Bob Lindabury

Piscataway, NJ

Coming back from dropping my daugher off at the bus stop and noticed one of my bushes had started changing colors for fall. Dark, dark green leaves with the top all very deep red leaves.. and in the middle of it all, a bright yellow leaf that had fallen from the maple tree above! Ran inside and grabbed my camera.

The color shots look very nice but I thought to make the maple leaf stand out as being all alone, it would be best to do some post processing. Digital Daan's B/W actions and a lot of fiddling with exposure, contrast, brightness and some cut-out work.

Thank you for the comments Lisa. I'll probably pop the original color one up too as the yellow leaf stands out even in the full color photo.

The rest of the leaves were deep red/green but I thought I'd process them down for the challenge.

Bob, very nice effect with the bright yellow leaf against the dark, monochrome ones. Good work in post processing :-D. Lisafx
