Carol- I have been trying some pictures like this but for some reason have not done any I am pleased with. Now if I could get them to look loke this beauty I would be so happy. The colors are just gorgeous and that dof is beautiful. I love how the leaves stand out and the selective focus you used. The lighting also gives us that warm, beautiful, fall day appeal. A work of beauty my friend.
Have yourself a most wonderful day. #9043069
