Japanese Maple

Contributed by C Mattox

I took this picture as part of a fall colors project. I was actually kind of late for the deadline, with the consequence that most of the leaves in the area had already fallen off the trees. However, the timing was exactly right with this particular Japanese maple, which apparently goes through the leaf-losing process later in the year than all the oaks. I did a little bit of touch up on the photo, cropping, color correction, sharpening, and lightening. Not too much, just enough to get the feel of the photo right.
