~Maine Birch~ [Contest Finalists October 2007]
Uploaded: October 26, 2007 12:41:44
These were taken in Maine at the Lamoine State Park, where I grew up. The image was taken at 1/125, F6, and ISO200. I added alittle buzz and boosted the colors. Have a wonderful day! Going to a Halloween Party....If my makeup turns out ok, maybe I will post a picture. :)
