Yes, yes, Ina. Although I have not only darkened the background but on a background selection I have applied the "Dark strokes" effect which has also resulted in more blur; and then with an inverse selection I have tried to add more contrast to the foreground leaves. Cheers, Gyuri

Hi Gyuri, I see, that's very nice. I didn't get it first. You increased the black, it's definitely more contrast, I like it :)

Hi, Ina, I think only PS can create the kind of contrast I was missing on the pic. Of course this would not coincide with your intentions. Here is a try on my part, not perfect, just an idea. Best, Gyuri

Hi Gyuri, thanks for the comment. This one wasn't meant to contrast, it was meant to be just red on red, more or less DOF. I had a more contrasting version (see below), but I thought it was too cliche:

Very creative use of the DOF, Ina. But IMO the sharp leaves on the right side are not distinctive enough. The color seems to dominate, if not tyrannize the picture. My heart bends for the "peaches". Warm regards, György

Red indeed. The world is on fire! Hi Ina, such a nice layering idea here, composing the near within the shadow of the far with the DOF completing the layered accent. Beautiful textures. Another winner!

What a lovely idea. Very nicely done with the rich red in focus foreground and the out of focus background. It worked really well. Great image Ina. Cheers - Ann :)

Hi Endre, This is not one of the sharpest pictures I've made :) It is cropped from a larger picture to show only the reds, and I had the dilemma: if I USM'd too much, the background became spotty, and I wanted it blurred, so I found a middle ground... Thanks for your always good comments! Regards, Ina

Thanks Kathy, I have cropped my reds from a larger picture, tried to squeeze out any other colors to leave only the reds in. Wish I had used a tripod, but I was standing in a ditch for this one - LOL.

Very nice comparison, Gabriela, I agree with you, red is symbolic of many things :) I thought this was one of them!

Thank you Linda, it WAS nice that day, not anymore... But the leaves are still on the trees, and not on the ground :) yet.

Ina, you did it right again, despite all dominating reds one can still see the distinct elements of the beautiful composition in this image. Cheers, n.j

The strong reds of the leaves are very nice. Nice autumnal shot with an abstract feel.

Fall colors are almost gone...keep those shots coming!!!
This is really nice, Ina. I love the way that you have created texture with focus. The colors don't change, but, because the dof is shallow you have created two distinct layers of the same color. I don't know if this is making any sense at all, but the bottom line is...this is really nice! :))))

Indeed, "violent" - good description - I got that same impression on screen, not in the field, though, where it looked just plain lovely. Thanks :)

Red on red!!!Fire on fire! Well, very daring composition!The background is very attractive, there are demons inside there! Very daring indeed! Crazy autumn! (if I say bloody autumn the meaning might give place to interpretation).
