The Art of Seeing

Lets get into the fall spirit! . Down here in Texas, not a lot of
places to see fall color, but last fall I was in new Hampshire and witnessed fall color in all its glory. Here is one of the fall color images I took at flume gorge (white mountain region ?)
Equipment info: Nikon N80, Velvia 50, Nikon 28-105mm @ 35mm, f/22, Bogen Junior tripod. Exposure was about 3 seconds due to very small aperture.. to get the milky water look. I desaturated the background using PS..
