Seattle - Fall Leaves #1

We were very fortunate to have been in Seattle during the fall when the colors were everywhere.  It rained virtually the whole time we were there, but we didn't mind much.  Besides, it kept the light even for shots like the photo above, which was captured just off the hotel parking lot.

Don't remember why, but came very close to throwing this one away.  Then I started playing with the colors.  In the first shot below the reds were saturated by about 25%, and in the one at bottom I decided to change the yellows to orange.  Pretty neat effect, and I'm glad I kept the photo:
