It's rare that one finds a photo to make them go "Wow!" -- but this one definitely has that in spades! I love the contrast, the color, the composition -- very cool

Originally posted by bvy: Lovely, and nicely composed and framed. Did you do any selective sort of desat to isolate or enhance the blue colors? It's really quite subtle and impressive.

Um, just some curves adjustment...? (You'll have to forgive me -- I'm not very savvy with the post-editing yet!) :)

Originally posted by sfalice: Yes, lovely contrasts here with two primary colors jousting for attention. Was that sunlight, or onboard flash for the bright red branches?

Nope, no flash -- all natural lighting here. I was just walking back to my car and this vivid patch of red caught my eye. I immediately thought "Color!" and went over to snap a couple shots. :) I know that this type of photo would never do well in a real challenge, but I still think that it goes nicely with this "Color Side Challenge," yes?

It must just be my mind, but my first reaction was "phallic". :/ They are really beautiful photos, though! :)

this reminds me of the thorn bushes the prince had to cut his way through in order to get to aurora in Sleeping Beauty. :) I like it a lot (I'm sure the fact that I used to watch that movie about 5 times a day growing up has nothing to do with it!).
