Harbinger of Fall by olivetreeann

Harbinger of Fall

There are some leaves that just deserve selective coloring.

As of 4 pm EST today, Fall is here.
So not ready for fall or winter yet.

@nadaa Thank you Nada! We've had three beautiful days and not so cold yet, but tonight I can tell my joints are letting me know the temperature has gone DOWN in the Poconos! Let me know what you'd like to do as a get-together. Maybe Laraine and I can meet you in Lafayette this time?

@pflaume Thanks Lisa! It really was a beautiful color.
@kerristephens Thank you Kerri!

I would presume that the darker bit of the picture is because of the water. It is interesting how B&W brings that out. Good for the lovely leaf too!

@mzzhope Thank you Hope! This is fairly easy to use- it's an on-line program I use- and it's free. Ribbet.com After uploading your picture into your computer, go to the website and upload your picture there. Take your photo in color. Then convert it to black and white on the site. When in the black and white effect you'll see a little box with a paint brush- that means you can "paint" the original color back in. The "brush" will look like a circle when you place it over the picture. Move the circle over the parts you want to be in color. You can use the slider to make the brush larger or smaller if you want. Have fun!!

This! I like the way that the white almost looks like snow just waiting to move in. Beautiful even though I am a summer lover.

@maggiemae Thanks Maggie- yes it's water in a little brook.
@pandorasecho Thank you Dixie! I do like Fall while it's still in its warm phase. But I'm starting to feel those cold nights in my joints!
@mzzhope No problem Hope! Always feel free to ask how I process shots!

Great use of SC! Makes such a good composition.

@taffy Thanks Taffy! The color version was nice and the leaf did stand out on that one too- but the SC really made the leaf jump off the page.

Thank you Bev, Marie, Nicole, Yao, Sally, Claire, Carole and Dione! Glad you like my little leaf. Seems a few more have fallen since I took this one, but there's still a lot of green.
