Throwback Thursday #42047 - BP Revisited

From sometime in 2002 through the early 2008, I was pretty active at BetterPhoto.com.   It was a fun site, it inspired my "rejuvination" in photography, and I met a lot of cool people.  But, for me at least, it kind of ran its course.  Now, in the spirit of throwback, I figured to post some of my favorite images from those days.

Taken in late fall 2005, durning a lunchtime walk at Highland, IL's Silver Lake Park. I actually de-saturated the background a bit, to make the leaf "pop" a little more.  IIRC, I wasn't thrilled with this one, but it did received a "Finalist" badge, so it can't be too bad.  I tried resubmitting it in 2007, and only got "Editor's Choice"...
