Maple's Mood

Maple's Mood, originally uploaded by M. Rosenberg.

Took a few shots today of the Japanese maple outside of my house, now that it's opened up for the season. I liked the contrast that was already there and thought maybe a moody paper texture would enhance it. I ended up using a stained piece of cardboard as the texture. I like the way it came out.

Now that it's rained for 8 straight days, the plants in the yard are growing monstrous.
