Another Red Maple

[pjnr56]

Same tree as previous post but close up. I like the contrast of the red leaves against the bark and the sun on the leaves.

Taken with Nikon D50, Nikon 18-135mm @ 135mm, F5.6, ISO 200. Touched up a bit in Picasa (light sharpening, toned down the brightness a bit also).

All comments and suggestions welcome.

I like this rendition much better than the long shot through the trees in your other post. Nice exposure and light here. Glad you posted this one even though it is the same general subject.
