Japanese Maple in April in the Southeast US

This is in my sister’s garden. I was sitting on the steps to photograph this in the late afternoon. It makes me happy.

I really like the abstract quality of this. There are also some nice color contrasts and a blur/focused tension. The comp is good too. An all around good image.

Hi Barbara. Had fun playing around in NIK with this image. Used fog, vignette and sharpen filters in Nik to come up with the attached rework. Not sure it is any better, just different.
