It IS a Sumac plant. Different from Poison Sumac, this one grows on small tree-like bushes and color changes are radical after first frost. Leaves generally fall off soon after their unnatural brillance flourishes. I used to live in Ohio and have a few shots like this.
Great job! I think it's funny that people thought you faked the color. Of course who would think that this sort of display could be natural. I cannot believe that anyone gave you scores under a 5. I am very proud of you.
Anyone have any clue what this plant is? One person told me its Sumac, but I'm not sure. I was very fortunate to see these colors, it was a truley amazing find. Thanks to everyone for all your great comments and generous scores. It was very exciting to rank this high. Amost made riboon! Wahoo!
I'm guessing you adjusted the hues to get the bizarre look - doesn't look natural to me.
Edit: Thanks for the PM. Sorry about my assumption, but I've never seen a tree/bush that changes like this. I'm curious what kind it is and where it was found. It's very strange but pretty. I bumped your score up to an 8.
Elegant, striking and artful. I particularly like the abstract quality of this shot, which on closer inspection reveals itself as simply a plant. I've never been a great fan orf borders but this one definitely helps. This is a phot about the wondrous colour and pattern in nature. Well done. 9
Incredible photo. So many colors. It looks like a rainbow. But let me tell you one thing: that isn´t Mother Nature´s palette, it´s Jehovah´s. Anyway, I like the photo and I give you 7 points.
wow was this done with lighting or is this natural?. Either way awsom shot. although it is either a little out of focus or you lost a little scaling down the image..
