I'd have to make this a winner, if I was officially judging!

Thanks for the great explanation plus the EXIF data - good learning.

Btw, that tree is only a little bit bigger than the one my late father planted a couple of decades ago in our old home's garden. That's one special kind of tree in more ways than one!

Wonderful capture of this very interesting tree, Josh! The tree is very unique with great shape and color, but your digital processing really sends it over the top. Terrific work! Congrats on being featured in DD!

Beautifully done photo Josh. On your website you have pictures of the same Japanese Maple done during 3 different seasons. How did you get your tripod/camera lined up in such perfect position?

	Threadleaf Japanese Maple Tree - Spring 1/4 sec., f/22, iso 100, 18 mm. In PS, I removed a small sign). Then I used Topaz Adjust (Color Blast). I took that version & combined it in PS with a Gausian Blur version to soften the image (opacity about 55). © Josh A. Friedman joshfriedmanphoto.co... Canon EOS 7D Digit...
