I had to dip into the archives for this one, as I haven't shot anything vivid or intense lately.

I took this just over a year ago in my garden .. the leaves of a Highbush Cranberry shrub. I thought the colors really jumped out against the dark color of the fence boards behind.

Didn't do much to this at all .. pretty much as it came out of my camera. Maybe a slight boost of contrast, but that's all.

Have a nice weekend everyone.

Hi Trudy,

Wow, what a lovely macrp capture of the colors from autumn! I like the intense colors of the leaves and indeed it is one of the powerful contribution to today's theme.

I like the sharpness and POV in the shot. The DOF is very well managed.

Wonderful work!

my best regards,
Paras

Hi trudy,
I searched this kind of view this autumn, but the rain has ruined my efforts to find it! So, I appreciate a lot your photo!
The red leaves against the black BG stand out! The textures and nerves are sharp and clear.
I like also the minimalist composition with the fine green stems behind your subject. This is graphical and adds an artistic touch at your image.
Very beautifully done! Annie

Hi Trudy,
Beautiful colours in this shrub, they have come out very intense against the darker bg. TFS

Gee I love the contrast of colours in this one.
It catch my eyes the moment I look at it. Real nice medium contrast, no harsh shadow apparent, but yet we can feel the direction of the light. Those fushia leaves are "real" intense alright.

Good exposure, nice shadow area, and well controled highlights.

I also like the composition and use of space. Well done Trudy.

Hi Trudy

A good entry in the Friday Intense Colour Theme. Looks similar to Japanese red maple, which also grows well in Korea. Excellent colour, graphism, & framing. Tfs!

Bonjour Trudy,

Nice contribution to the theme. The red really stand out against the dark fence. Simple but effective compostion, sharp and well exposed with vivid, saturated and of course INTENSE colors. NIce work and TFS.

Hello Trudy

That red is really fantastic, the light and details are great, fine composition.

Oh Trudy, how pretty these leaves are, and I also see seeds too. Your fall colours are so much more vibrant than what we get here in NZ.
Nicely composed, especially against the dark fence in the BG. The coloours just seem to jump out at us
Well done
Janice

So glad that you found this in your archive Trudy. Indeed the foliage colors are most intense ruby red like and it shows very well in the chosen vertical format. It is the peak of autumn in D.C. and I'm itching to go out and take photos. However, it has been raining the last few days and my cats are demanding more attention than usual. Wishing you a good Sunday.

Hi Trudy

Well taken shot of these autumn leaves.
The colours are really intense, you can hardly see the berries in this.
TFS

Bonjour Trudy.
J’aime beaucoup ces couleurs profondes qui contrastent parfaitement avec ce fond sombre.
Une belle composition artistique de saison.
Bonne soirée.
Urs

Hi Trudy,
Awesome shot! Such an intense blood red colour - Really seems to stand out against the dark tones of the fence behind. I quite like the way the leaves enter the frame on an angle from the bottom left corner - Certainly worth dipping into the archives for :).

TFS,
Scott.

Aamazing red Now if you had caught this with some snow on that would be very dramtic ;-0
Nice shot TFS
warm regards

Hi Trudy, Often the simplest of images have the greatest impact and this is the case here. The bright red colours and exquisiteness of nature's shapes is most appealing. TFS. Murray.

Hi, Trudy -
Sorry I'm behind in your gallery - you've posted some great shots! This one, for example - beautifully simple composition; the deep red really comes through in a striking way. Great bg with the light visible through the gaps in the slats. Excellent work!

Hi Trudy,
Beautiful tone colors of this maple leafs,
Excellent composition and presentation,
good for the theme.
Excellent background and details .
compliments
Michel

My dear Trudy
