Hi Shelly,
Oh! This is so beautiful!You captured this automnal landscape so finely! Excellent composition. The tuft of grasses in foreground ontersecting the reflections gives really more depth at the image.
The colors are very natural. I especially like the brightness and the clarity on the water! Very good work! Annie

Really nice sharp shot Shelly - well composed too with the grasses adding FG interest and the f8 has given a superb DOF.
Nice light and shows the autumnal colours well (sorry - can't bring myself to call them 'fall' colours LOL)

Hello Shelly,

This is the sort of shot that one enjoys just looking at, not critiquing, just enjoying!
It is so peaceful, so colourful, so beautifully composed! (Sorry, I felt honour bound to critique!)
The raft of f/g grasses is perfectly placed in the frame, to grab attention, before the view shifts to the gentle curve of the lake. Here, the atumnally clad trees guide around and into the distance! Just great!

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hi Shelly,

Really nice work here, the tranquil lake looks fantastic amidst the fall colors. Including the cluster of fg grasses is a nice touch, and the reflections are superb. TFS

Warm regards,

Another beautiful shot! Love your processing on these. Whatever you are doing it's working well here. I can even see the subtle clouds in the sky, just the slightest pink going on! Nice work!

Shelly, this is gorgeous! Great fore framing and wonderful reflections in the water. Just for the heck of it, and it doesn't detract from the photo, try using a little more saturation and "red" coloring in your autumn shots. It ain't phony. It enhances! Just a suggestion for make your lovely shots more lovely.

Cheers, JoeGoff
