 Just got a new lens so I wanted to test it out....this was taken near the outdoor ice rink in our neighborhood. There was some light spilling onto the trees and I thought it looked kind of interesting...the glow in the distance is from town.
I added a few adjustments in PSE to play withe colors a bit and cropped a little to get rid of a house light that was showing on the right side of the frame.

I agree with the comments; the colors are lovely, but could stand to be cropped.

Regarding shutterpuppy's comment, did you denoise at all?


This is sage advice. the colors are, nice, but.the crop would help enhance the feel of movement in the shot.

the reds make me think the forest is under fire.

PennyClick, no, I didn't try denoise....I am trying some of the ideas here. Will give that a go. Thanks for the comments! Much appreciated.

The golden red and bronze colors are very appealing here. I would have tried to reframe your shot to get more sky and avoid that grey triangular shoulder area. The bluish grey color is in direct conflict with the other colors. Though it doesn't really wreck the shot, I still would've tried to simplify by getting rid of it. But hey, I'm not you...

thanks for your comment shutterpuppy.....I added an adjustment layer with soft light and I think I overdid it a bit...at least that might explain? Still learning!

this is coming across a little muddy on my monitor, but I do like the red tones in the background.
