Hi Randy Very nice image. I cropped half of the image from the top as a trial and it is a lovely image with landscape format now. Please try the same thing and be happy with your image .Also some sharpening please

How's this, Binnur

I like this picture a lot: the subject, the colours and the composition. I wonder though whether it would be improved by a slightly increased depth of field. This is a question I often ask about my own pictures and find it difficult to know to what extent and exactly where a picture needs to be sharp.

I had to sacrifice depth of field for shutter speed. Conditions were deep shade without tripod, I had to get low to get the composition that I wanted, therefore stability was not great. Minnesota has been unusually wet this year, near record rainfall in June. The fringe benefit has been incredibly lush growth and lots of mushrooms (not to mention mosquitoes).

I like the crop Randy , lovely colours

Great colors contrasting against the brown stump. The cropped version is better IMO. Either more or less of the stump was needed in the first one. Nicely done.
