Autumn Splendor by olivetreeann

Autumn Splendor

I knew I'd be running about today, so I'm posting early (for me!). I took this one on the way home from church Sunday and saved it for today. This lovely array of colors is at the base of the mountain I live on and is only slightly enhanced to bring up the contrast and intensity. (Oh and I did clone out a bothersome wire, but you might not be able to tell where! Sometimes I just love processing!)
Nothing like an early post to clear the day. Beautiful capture of amazing color. We are finally seeing that here too (warm weather has delayed it this season). Have a nice day :)

Gorgeous Fall scene, Ann. So peaceful and colorful. Editing is fun, isn't it? I want to learn more about it in the near future!

Fab fall shot scene. I'm so happy to see all this lovely foliage that you don't see in Florida. Great capture!! Fav!

@steeler Thank you Howard!
@geertje Thank you Geertje! And you're welcome, but you certainly deserved the mentioning!
@pandorasecho Thank you Dixie- each has its own beauty! I love the smell of an evergreen forest.
@kerristephens Thank you Kerri!
@sanera Thanks Samantha. I think we hit peak this past week end. Today as I drove around I noticed a lot of trees thinning out. But I'm not ready for snow yet!

@karenann Thanks Karenann! Yes- getting that wire out of there really helped the picture!
@cimes1 Thank you Carole- you are so sweet! Thanks for the fav!
@httpgeffed Thank you Colleen! The sun was hitting them just right! I was glad to catch the shot.

Such a beautiful display of Autumn's colors.
October 26th, 2011  
lovely shot with the colors so bright and the feel so airy. I know how you feel about wires!
October 26th, 2011  
@digitalrn Thank you Rick!
@dmariewms Thank you Marie! Most of the time I can shoot around them, but this time I couldn't- so it's nice to have the luxury of editing them out if need be.
October 26th, 2011  
More incredible fall colors :) I would have to photoshop the colors in..It was 85 degrees here today...fall by my standards :P
October 26th, 2011  
@changingtides I wouldn't mind an 85 degree day at all!! Although it was pretty nice today and I managed to get by with just a sweater- but tonight, it's going to be chilly! Thanks Allie!
October 26th, 2011  
Stunning fall colors!!
October 26th, 2011  
@twinsplusone Thank you Sharon! I appreciate the view and comment!
October 26th, 2011  
Great job showing the fall colors in this
October 26th, 2011  
This is gorgeous! Sometimes, I like wires in my photo, but they have to be "just right"....here, it would have marred the beauty I think so good choice! It reminds me of Blue Mt. ....where I grew up.
October 26th, 2011  
@sarasdadandmom thanks Terry!
@espyetta thanks MaryBeth- yes they definitely ruined the picture on this one.
October 26th, 2011  
Beautiful colors :))
October 26th, 2011  
@cheyrebecca Thank you so much Cheyenne!
October 26th, 2011  
This is a great autumn shot! ~ I love the colours you've captured! Nice! Wires make me crazy~ lol~ I haven't mastered cloning them out as of yet. ~
October 26th, 2011  
such vivid colours. post-card worthy, i say!
October 26th, 2011  
Beautiful landscape, Ann! I miss living in a placetat has good fall foliage.
October 26th, 2011  
@sanera Thank you Samantha! This one was fairly simple because of where it was in the picture (upper right hand corner). And it takes me more than one pass because I don't quite understand how the "brush" works sometimes. It takes practice!
@summerfield Thanks Summerfield- you are very kind!!
@dbjohnson Thanks Dean. This was one of the most colorful spots, but for the most part the rainy summer gave us a lot of brown this year.
October 26th, 2011  
Such beautiful colours
October 26th, 2011  
Oh Ann! I love this so much!
October 26th, 2011  
Wow you are amazing Ann!
October 26th, 2011  
Wonderful!
October 26th, 2011  
Gorgeous
October 26th, 2011  
"me too" you probably guessed that! - excellent shot
October 26th, 2011  
It looks like a Forest Fire! so bright!
October 26th, 2011  
@bkbinthecity Thank you bkb!
@potsbypam Thank you Pam!
@daveanajao Aww shucks Dave! You're amazing too!
@alia_801 Thank you Alia!
@nicolecampbell Thank you Nicole!
@adobewaters Thank you Adobe! (o:
@pandorasecho Thanks Dixie! I bumped it up just a notch for contrast, but it was truly that brilliant with the sun hitting the leaves.

Thank you one and all!! Your comments are so uplifting!!
October 26th, 2011  
So gorgeous..nicely framed too. fav. Ann. I upgraded to picnik and Ithink they have a cloning app. have'nt tried it yet. what are you using for your processing?
October 26th, 2011  
@bruni Thank you Bruni & thanks for the fav! Yes- Picnik is what I use and you can find the cloning effect in the Advanced section. I find it best to use in small pieces saving as you go, rather than doing a big section all at once. It does come in handy!
October 26th, 2011  
All effects work together to create a marvelous autumn scene. Beautiful.
October 29th, 2011  
Awesome shot.
