Description

FINALIST_AUG08. This has always been one of my personal favorites. I took it one day when I was taking a walk around the block from a break at work. I loved how the back lighting was outlining the leaves. I had to handhold since I didn't have my tripod with me. When I opened it up it was almost perfect and required very little removal of dust spots, etc. F5 @ 1/80 AP, 100 ISO, 75mm (28-135mm)

Thanks so much Stefanie and also thanks to the judge who gave this one a chance. It's always been one of my personal favorites. I took it one day when I was taking a walk around the block at work. I saw how the backlight was outlining the leaves and took some quick shots. When I opened it up it was almost perfect and required very little removal of dust spots, etc. Thanks again! #6490117
