Ash tree is now a Maple tree!

Description

First I clone stamped out the stakes (which I should have pulled out of the ground before taking the picture!). The I opened a hue/saturation layer and started playing around to see what it would do. When I saw that I could turn the leaves red I decided to do so. It is not a realistic image of the tree, but I wanted to see how much I could alter the colors. I adjusted the master hue to -12, and the master saturation to +6. I liked the color of the leaves but felt the corn stalks had lost too much yellow so I bumped the yellow hue to +4 and yellow saturation to +24. Then I bumped blue up to +22 saturation to try to get the sky bluer.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: -0.33, ExposureTime: 1/800 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 70.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS REBEL T1i

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
