It was rather warm for November and at lunch I went for a quick walk to enjoy the weather and (hopefully) get a picture of something for the SOL. I get home after dark so that eliminates everything outside.

I like how the low light just makes these things glow and finally got a decent shot.

convert from raw
Nik Tonal Contrast/Glamor Glow (my favorite combination)
levels
fractalius - then fade way back
crop
resize
sharpen
save for web

Fractalius seems to make these pictures really pop if not overdone.

This really does have that blowing in the breeze feeling to it!

I'm going to have to try this fractalius thing. This is lovely. I've seen these glowing just as you described and it is really difficult to capture appropriately. You've done an excellent job.

beautiful play of light on the flume! I pulled over the other day for the same reason-the light sets them aglow

Cool shot. Looks like the leaves are holding the plant up in the wind.

I like the diagonally-based composition in this one.

The light is really beautiful against the blue sky.
