A few hard rains have taken down most of the leaves in N. Va.
Found this one tree hanging on to its color, made more vibrant shooting in the drizzle.

I like the colors and the isolation of the lone tree.
Technically,...it just doesn't seem sharp though...not sure why....

On my screen the original is sharp through the bare trees. Most of the colored leaves are sharp as well although some are soft, likely due to movement with the breeze and distance (although on a tripod). This is an uncropped image but for a bit of straightening. The color intensity may also be playing a role but only a touch of vibrance was added to the wet leaves.
Thanks John.
