YES David, as I was walking out of the woods, that red really popped against all of the greens and browns that I had seen for a couple of hours.The only way I could show off what I had seen was to spotlight this red with the contrast that that my eyes had become accustomed to for the time of my walk. These leaves from a neaby maple tree were the best way to do it because the forest was filled with them.

HI Carolyn and Colette, Thanks for your thoughts!

Almost looks like an inverted autumn scene, Donna. What a great contrast between the GREEN leaves and the RED background! Very creative seeing and strong graphics. Well done!

7/25/2003 1:26:34 PM

The red and green make me think of Christmas. Love the look of the leaves. Very nice, Donna! :-)

Wow, great graphic photo, it gives me the feel of of an Oriental screen print. Good eye Donna. Ma

Hi Ma, Thanks! Good eye too. It does look lke an oriental screen print now that you mention it! Do you remember the screen prints that I made many years ago. That was an interesting process.

Donna, Great work! Fantastic color.

Donna, I'm new to this site but really enjoy it. I really like your composition on this shot. How did you get the Red background? Was it part of the original picture or did you put it in digitally?

8/11/2003 9:32:50 AM

Hi David, thank you. This red background is a new building for holding RR cars at a RR station.It is a very bright red building to say the least. I adjusted the levels in PS but it only brightened the image . All of my images are true to what I saw when I pressed the shutter. I do not change my images in PS with the exception of very minor adjustments in contrast etc.. I show everything the way it was unless I make adjustments in the camera with shutter speeds etc.
