Hand-Painted Leaves


Hand-Painted Leaves

I can't resist posting just one more picture of autumn leaves. These leaves look like they are hand-painted, but they aren't, not really. I have been chasing autumn leaves because I love to look at the colors. Today I took this picture in my front yard with my phonecam, looking for deep reds and oranges. But when I loaded the image into my computer, for some reason the leaves looked pastel. I decided that I like the magical effect, so I decided not to correct the colors. Instead I just brightened the image a bit and cropped it to focus on the leaves. Fall is great just as it is, but imagine what November would look like if all autumn leaves were in pastel colors!
