A bit of a throwback for this Thursday afternoon. This image was made two years ago at Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior, AZ. The Chinese Pistachio (Pistacia chinensis) leaves turn a brilliant and fiery red in autumn. When the image was originally processed, I didn’t care for it. Going through my archives recently, I stumbled upon it and decided to try reprocessing it again in Lightroom. While the image was more appealing to me, it still seemed to lack the richness I was hoping for. Further processing in Photoshop Elements, I added two layers of texture and blended all the layers to achieve the image below. Let me know your thoughts by leaving a comment!

God showing off….Your pix amaze me.
Thank you Bob M.!
If I drew a square in the bottom right corner. There is something quite cubist happening in there, That’s where I would explore. Love the colors
Good eye! It was a windy day when this image was made and focusing on a smaller section would certainly have been a challenge…..thank you it’s something for me to keep in mind when shooting fall color this year!

Simple but so effective
Thank you! Until the image was reprocessed, I wasn’t too happy with it.
