Description
I created this fantasy from another of my photographs, "Crabapple in Autumn". Each of the two versions comes from the same, single picture - a section of a flowering, ornamental crab apple tree in mid fall. After a spring in which the weather was perfect for blossoms, the branches were laden with berry-like fruit - as can be seen in the source photograph. When the leaves started to turn in mid fall, the foliage was a riot of color: green, red, yellow, and orange. For this version I selected a few branches with pleasing curves and blurred the background. Then I carefully removed most of the fruit and leaves, leaving only a few clinging to the branches.
