Pond - This is an unedited shot of a small pond in the fall.
Reflection 1 - This photo is from a series I created of reflected images. Here I photographed a grouping of trees and reflected them downward, adding a ripple effect to give the sense of reflecting water.
Red Leaf - In this edit, I used a fresco painting effect and brightened the sun in the background. The Red leaf was added from another photo and saturated for a more vibrant look.

Tree Duo
Fall Leaves
Tree and Leaves - I took this photo with an aim to create two nice backgrounds, as if to use nature to create a layout for a magazine page or book page. A nice contrast between the tree and leaves makes for an interesting view of the woods.
Sunshine
Color Trees - For this photo, I over saturated various areas to give a surreal and unnatural feeling to the trees and land.
Gold - I saw the sun setting on this yellow tinted tree one afternoon and knew I had to take the picture. Very little touchups done here.
