One of my favorite trees in spring through fall is the Goldenrain Tree (Koelreuteria
paniculata). It is native to Eastern Asia, China, & Korea. As I was walking on the paved asphalt path @ GSO Arboretum, I looked down to see the petals that had fallen to the ground -- as you can see a nice golden color in the image on the left. Unfortunately I did not think to take a closer image as I was thinking of this as a background when I get into digital imaging.. In another month there will be wonderful seed pods to photograph close up. I decided to do some altered art with this image because of the textures. The image on the left I darkened and increased the contrast and sharpened. The image on the right I wanted a more altered art effect. So, I increased the highlights and midtones, sharpened to the max, then applied red color variation x2. Taken in Camera + HDR mode. I elected not to crop the image. This might be one to try to change to square , choose a filters and send in Instagram. For more info, "Google" wikipedia.
