Autumn Leaves Blue Sky (Digitally Modified and Posterized)


This image also started with my little neighborhood leaf-peeping excursion of last weekend. This beautiful maple is just down the block. I love the way autumn leaves look against blue sky. (Why does blue sky look more intense in the fall? Is the color contrast with the leaves, or just the dryer air?) Anyway, while I was taking the my photo, I was aware that I was also photographing to big electric lines in the background. Tonight I used Painter's digital pastel to get rid of them, so they don't show in this version. Then I posterized the image and cropped it to get this composition.
