Fall leaves

We're well into fall in the U.S. and where I live most of the leaves have "fallen." Here's a sample...

Re: Fall leaves

Wonderful foliage Danny. Resisted making plastic wrap and went seamless for this one (and trust me, it took all that I could not to turn it to plastic or wax; lol).

Re: Fall leaves

Used gradients to color and then painted using PaintEngine.

Re: Fall leaves

Applied the principles of the texture blending webinar by Uwe Steinmueller.

I honestly don't know how someone from your neck of the woods deals with all the rain. We here in the south are floating away; and it has been too cloudy, drippy, squishy to get out and shoot until today...now that all the leaves are gone.

So double thanks for the leaves and the color Danny.

Re: Fall leaves

We have autumn leaves in the north and south areas, but I haven't been traveling anywhere this year, so it's nice to see your leaves, Danny.

I added a gradient map with autumn colors.

Great colors. Did you use PWL for this picture? Would love to know your technique.

Re: Fall leaves

I created blur background and focus leaves after I set rich color and strong contrast.
