Maple in April


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Maple in April
Maple in April
04/25/04, Miyazu, Japan. The small Japanese maple in my garden. I have filled cards trying to capture the loveliness of this maple, mostly without success. Haven't been able to figure out why it's so challenging. I think perhaps it's because I try to do macro on it and it's a challenging subject in terms of depth of field. This is one of the few I like enough to put in my gallery. The colour cast is because I took the lower leaves with the sun shining through the upper leaves.

  Thanks for the encouragement, Lisa! I entered it in April, but since it's one of my very favourites, I've decided to enter it again.

  Thanks for the kind comments Amy. I guess I have to admit that I'm much more a Photoshoper than I am a photographer!

  Thanks, Wanda. This has become one of my favourite pics. I now have a bird feeder set in this tree and it provides gorgeous background for my bird shots.

  Thanks, Ken. It was a re-submit. In the midst of a job and location change, so haven't had a moment to check the finalists page. But I'm sure you made a killing!

  This, like so many good images, allows the part to suggest the whole. I enjoyed viewing this.
