Many years ago I managed to snap a photo of this magnificent tree in my back yard - the leaves were gold, the sky was a beautiful blue - a perfect shot. My father asked for the print, and I happily gave it to him. Every year I try again to recapture that image, without success. The leaves are never as deep a gold, the sky never that azure blue. I treasure the memory that my father liked it so much that he asked for the copy, and kick myself for not getting another copy printed while I could still find the negatives.
It is very beautiful. With todays scanners have you tried to scan a copy? Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous color & texture!
ReplyDeleteBe nice to yourself - this photo is magnificent too!
ReplyDeleteI think this scene will be my holy grail - trying every year to capture what will only ever be better in my memory! The good thing is that this can only improve my photography. As for the original - the photo has been lost - I guess my dad passed it along to someone else.
ReplyDeleteMuch better without the bright blue sky. Lovely texturing.
