Radiant red leaves that defy seasons

I recently went to nearby Hakone Gardens, a Japanese garden in Saratoga, California. The garden has many different plants. This is a small tree that has red leaves not just in autumn.

I processed a paintery and a smooth HDR photo a RAW exposure, blended them, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
