I like the colors during this time of the year, and I like getting close up photos of leaves. However, for this one I tried to find a different angle, and used the branch as a leading line towards the brighter part in the middle. This was shot using a Nikon D3200 and Nikkor 16-85mm lens, at f8 and 85mm. Only editing done to it, was a slight crop, and some minor adjustments to highlights using a couple of different mask. Colors and exposure is as shot. I also used a high pass filter in Photoshop, to add a little bit of sharpness.
