Fall Color at Olmsted Ohio

beautiful as always walter. i like the original even with the slight color tone. great title..tt

Great colors, Walter, spectacular, congrats!

this picture I saw in a dream once...

Walter, this is lovely and well composed. I also like the less magenta version. The quietness and peace this image instills carries throughout the entire image. Well done!

Walter, I can clearly see you've been very carefull with the composition and i like your view. I may have different taste about your "di-dy" filter whose effect is just too strong for me (I prefer the version of Vincent's [i think] with less magenda). But that is only a personal taste. And it might look different on the slide and in the print... I'll also have to check this shot on a different monitor, as it's a bit darkish (but I know this monitor is bad)...

Update:

It's not that dark (it was the monitor)... :-)

are in order here, but to save bandwidth (and my fingers) I just have to say that I appreciate all of your visitis and comments!

Jiri. yes this brand of Didymium filter (Tiffen) produces a very strong effect. I also have one from B+W which is considerably more reserved in the spurious color effects. I probably should have chose that one instead, but in the final analysis, I like the effect of the Tiffen filter. It needs to be controlled, however, more than what I did. Thanks for the observations; your opinion is always welcome here. Regards.

The whole composition is outstanding, Walter, but what struck me as special is the double refelction: red on top and the branch in front. A great view wonderfully captured and rendered.

As a thumbnail this is a really eye catcher. Viewing the larger version the flat light provides a great environment for an even exposure... particularly in your foreground. I am left wondering after looking at this closer in photoshop if the red/purple lighting in the shadows and foreground is natural or an artifact of your scan that can be color corrected out. I like the color cast as its quite unique the only downside is the resulting image is dark.

 

And now that I read everyone elses comments I find that my question is answered :)

Hi Jim...more likely you are seeing the effect of my Didymium filter. Personally, I like what it does, but then I am an incorrigible Color Junky. So be it: it is a curse that I can live with. I am not sure about this being dark. I calibrate my Diamondtron CRT with an EyeOne to gamma 2.2, 6500 K, and a luminance of 100 cd/m^2. It looks okay to me, but I admit a problem with some others that I have posted, especially this one.

In any case, I appreciate your observations and will consider them.

I thank you, and Paula, for stopping by and visiting for awhile. Regards, Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays!

Walter, I prefer Vince's version with the magenta toned down. Magnificent scene and beautifully shot. The dof greatly helps the sense of reality here.

Your images are so Beautiful and rich with lovely colours.

Serene composition, strange, but pleasing colours, cheers Jana
