This was taken with the Canon EF 17-40mm wide-angle lens. I took a spot on the ground and pointed the camera up as the setting sum was hitting the leaves. Back in the lab I split the image into 3 exposures in Lightroom and used Photomatix to create a pseudo-HDR, and added some tilt-shift effect to the focusing via Photoshop.
