 I was having a hard time coming up with something for this challenge that didn't involve a portrait (I'm guessing most of the entires will be of that type). I went out early in the morning to get some sunrise type shots while lighting up the foreground, but nothing turned out really well. I then noticed this tree in my front yard that was full of colors. I setup my camera to look through the leaves, put the flash on the top (with a diffuser), and grabbed this photo. I do like how it turned out for the most part. If possible, I would like to change to blown sky highlights into blue, although it was less blue than white while actually looking at it.
