I would like to see the leaves a little sharper but it could be a product of compression. Otherwise, I think the colors stand out magnificantly! jano

Very good, Sueanne, and I really like the way it was exposed - giving a sense of a nice bright day! /Oved

Thanks Rod... I see - focus on grass rather than the leaves --- to give different exposure views --- always learning from the pros thanks :)

Looks 3D dunit, very well shot Sue Anne. If you're unsure of what exposure to use an old rule of thumb was to lock your exposure on the grass as it's the closest to an 18% reflectance grey that all meters are calibrated to see. Like here if you expose on the leaves the meter thinks it’s an 18% grey on a duller day than it is, & will over expose a bit. I'm telling you no more as you're getting too good:-)

Thanks for comments

Soft ? Hmmm, viewed in 'original' the leaves look sharp, perhaps abit overexposed as I was shooting into the sun. Thanks for comments RK :)

and yes these are leaves from a maple tree Rich.......

Great colors here. Find it a bit soft and a tad over-exposed.
