Several years ago, the day after Christmas was blanketed with a heavy fog.  Rather than face the crowds at the local mall I took my camera to a nearby park to see what I could find.  I loved how the leaves of this tree provided a golden color to an otherwise monochrome background.  Shooting with my Nikon D40 I then took the image into Photosop, adjusted the levels and curves, duplicated the layer, applied a gaussian blur set to 10 and changed the layer mode to soft light.

Lovely photo. 

A landscape photo needs an area of interest.  Like you have done here.  It would still be a nice photo without the coloured leaves, but it gives the eye something to look at and holds the eye a little longer before taking you into the misty background. 

I had only used curves before on abstracts before, but have been dabbling a little more lately.  Adjusting the curves seems to be so much better than just adjusting the contrast.  It enhances the depth of the photo.

this is really lovely - I agree i love how the gold is framed by the soft monochromatic backgroud - nature offers us so many opportunities to capture beauty. I've always wanted to do a project where you go to one place and every day or week take an image of the exact same thing till at the end of the year you have a visual diary of the changes. This kind of place would make a lovely place to do such a thing.

These are for you Danielle. I took them in april of 2010. I was staying with my parents while recovering from a surgery and one day while Momma was at work I called her to report that the surveliance camera had captured some rather unusual activity and I had been forced to detain the perps. We both got a great kick out of it and since then the tater head family has not only grown but had many adventures in both our homes. Hope it makes you smile as well.

LMAO!!!!

I have always loved Mr. P.  I think I am the only person on this planet who never owned one.  My cousin had one and it was the first thing I'd look for in her toybox.  I made sure I got one for my son when he was little.

 

I think you may need one more if they're ever going to make it out of the driveway!!

Two more photos from that same foggy day.  There was a mystical feeling in the air.

this second photo with all that soft fog and reflections - all i can say is WOW that's a beautiful image with so much expression. I love images that make you feel something and think. Its lovely monochromatic colouring really adds to the mystical feel
