Difficult Run Reds by Janet

I was completely taken by the vivid reds the day we were at Difficult Run; these are some attempts to capture them.

In each of these photographs, I was trying to do something quite simple, although the images are busy and that may have overcome what I was trying to do. In the first, much like in one of Claire's photos, I wanted to make the red leaves pop against the background of quieter colors. In the second, I wanted the dark, cool, forbidding tones of the foreground to give way to the brighter and warmer tones in the sunlight downstream.
