synapped > The Tree Revisted

Back to the tree at the Japanese Garden in Portland this fall.  It's so spectacular!  This is almost straight out of the camera, just a wee brightening and levels and such.  I like the one I got this year better than last year’s because I got leaves under the tree this time!  I just finally framed last year's in 20x30 size for my dining room.  Now I'm debating about printing this one instead.  

Since I didn't get the full starburst, I don't know whether the light "aura" is a good thing or not.  I'd love your honest opinions about that.

I just finally framed last year's in 20x30 size for my dining room.  Now I'm debating about printing up this one instead!
