Portrait and a Sky Change

Here are two of my faovrites from Waterfall Glen. In the attempt to make a "landscape portrait," just to see if it would work, I vignetted these golden trees to to the right in order to highlight the color through contrast. I like the effect. The photo of the multi-color bank of trees in the photo above looked pretty good to me except for the bland washed out sky. You don't see bland and washed out? That was the secret. I tossed bland and added this beautiful blue sky . . . from an image I collected in Paris this summer!
More fall color in the next post.
