Soft focus
This is the magnolia tree in our front yard.
I added the soft focus effect using Picasa. I really like the way the light plays off the leaves, but I'm worried that the soft focus may be a bit much. What do y'all think? Thanks!

Yes...
I think the soft focus is a bit much... The shot itself seems a little dull... but that just may be me. Technically I find the shot done well for the most part, but the subject is not so interesting to me personally.

I don't like the strong shadow that is falling on the two lit leaves.

Nootwerks, Welcome
Same idea, with more of the light (early morning or evening) stiking backs of full leaves will give a bigger light show. One odd colored leaf helps too.
