Tom: I can't tell you just how refreshing it is to see someone with your photography skills having the same problems that I do. I went ahead and downloaded the shot to check out the leaves against that white sky and saw that some of them were bleached out. I have the same problem with difficult lighting. Certainly there is some sort of adjustment that can be made, but I don't know what it might be. The tonal range is absolute in this shot which goes from pure white to pure black.
Fine shot and nice work. When you figure out how to stop those leaves from disappearing, please let me know.
Dorothy Michaels: No, just Dorothy. Alan's always Alan, Tom's always Tom and John's always John. I have a name too. It's Dorothy, capital D-O-R-O-T-H-Y.
Must have been a cold day/morning because of the vapor just above this area, Tom, but enhancing the atmosphere. The choice of B&W has enhanced the atmosphere as well, resulting in a very good composition and a very proper entry for the Wednesday B&W challenge!

This had quite a lot of color , fall foliage , but the sky was washed out. Your quite right Dorothy and for me , this shot is all but impossible unless you bracket. I always liked this scene tried to make something work from it last night , I ain`t proud.
Favorite, absolutely stunning, unique and captured perfectly for me. The scene fits the space perfectly, am in awe of this, really one of my very favorites of your work.
