Stand Out by olivetreeann

Stand Out

I went into Stroudsburg today to have the photos I've chosen to enter into competition printed and enlarged. While I was waiting for them to be done, I wandered around town and took the opportunity to search out some more Fall colors. I noticed some beautiful English Ivy growing on a wrought iron fence and amongst its green leaves was this little stand out. Believe it or not, this is not a picture with selective coloring and it's basically sooc. I think because I was shooting in the shade, the deep green leaves look naturally dull against the yellowing leaf. Even the ivy is getting into Autumn this year!
Turned out nice

Nice shot, Ann! Love the selective coloring. I really need to take some time to learn how to do that. You did an excellent job on this. Well done :)

Wow that is quite the sight. Great find Ann

The natural contrast is lovely, Anne. You did really well on this sooc capture & it makes such a pretty picture. Basically I the same thing with the magnolia pod I captured last week, except I lightened the background a tad.

Isn't it funny how used we become to processed pictures and we forget that those effects mimic ones seen in real life first

@pandorasecho Thanks Dixie and good point! I'm not really sure how this worked out this way because when I saw it, I saw more green but I guess the fact that it was in a shady area "tricked" the camera to read it with less color. Anyway I sure liked how it turned out!

interesting texture and contrast without digital manipulation.

@yaorenliu Thank you Yao!
September 29th, 2013  
the ivy leaves always come out grey this time of the year, me thinks. good eye!
September 29th, 2013  
Great photo.

@summerfield @henrir

Thank you Vikki- I think it had mostly to do with the lighting. But no matter what the cause, it worked to the advantage of the shot.

Thank you Henri!

I really like Ivy. We have a Virginia Creeper growing along one side of our house and I love how it makes the garden come alive when the loves come back in the Spring

This is so neat! I was sure you'd used selective color processing until I read your comments.

@nicolecampbell Thank you Nicole! I've tried to get some started in my front gardens but the dirt here is terrible. Maybe next year, I'll trying adding some more manure or additives to beef it up a bit. I'm sure your Virginia Creeper looks really pretty!

@eudora Thank you Diane! It was pretty surprising the when I first saw it in my computer.
