Shot looking strictly for silhouette of the three prominent Maple trees.
Set camera to Vivid and boosted saturation, contrast and sharpness to max in that setting. Kept white balance on Auto as well as ISO. Bracketed tons of shots and this was the best of the lot (or so my wife says). I must say I like this challenge and these editing rules (although a little further post editing after the submission really makes this shot pop), of course we'll see how I feel after voting ends!
Post editing involed one pass through sharpen and then size for web, DONE.
