I took this last year at this time with a 45mm lens and was unhappy with the result because the depth of field from my position was not shallow enough and the bridge got lost in the foliage. This shot is a 14 image composite, double row, with an 85mm PC-E at F2.8. I am happier with it, but I think that even a faster lens would have given me the shallow DoF that I think would make this image better.

Even though the colors, to me, are a little too much I like it.

Thanks!

I totally see your point on the color thing. I'm pretty sure It's a color management issue. If you view it on a profiled display, using a color managed browser like Firefox, it might look less saturated and more natural - similar to what I see on my display and my prints.

Here is a less saturated version - I think it "pales" by comparison - pun fully and enthusiastically intended.

Yes, it does "...pale by comparison..." but I like it better - looks more natural to me.
Thanks for the comparison.

I use Explorer - tried Firefox and it did not go over to well so went back to Explorer
