landscapes Fall Reflections

I used a 100mm lens to compress the reflections and underexposed the

image a bit to create the deep shadows. All ratings and comments are

welcome and appreciated.

Wonderful colors and tones... beautiful...

Love it!

Wow,those colours are awesome.When you visit somewhere like this you just have to photograph it.

Nice border to the pic too.

Nancy this is stunning! Almost looks like an oil painting. <- meant as compliment by the way! :)

Nancy: We all wish we could happen upon such scenes. You have taken maximum advantage of this one. Well done!

A tad more crisp and a tad more light, and this was easily a 9. Impressive colors. Regards.

Pleasing to view!

It looks perfect to me. A tad lighter and the shot would've been ruined. I also think that more pictures like these were posted, I couldn't rate it so high for originality. I'd happily hang it on my wall.

It's a nice image, but very cliche. In fact, I believe Cokin has a similar image on an Inhancing Filter package. Is that flare or haze at the top?

 

What's always amusing, is that the people using this film, haven't realized it's full potential since this image, like many others, is underexposed. It's not a bad image, but underexposed. This is why we bracket. Travel all that way, spend all that money, and save money on a roll of film?

The mixture of bright colors with a dark background here is wonderful. Nice shot.

I like your idea of underexposing a little. I think the deep blacks really accentuate the colors. I bet this slide is impressive projected!

Great job capturing the colors! This is the best Fall reflection photo I've seen.

...and underexposed the image a bit to create the deep shadows.

 

she wanted the image to look that way folks. nice colors. i have a question though. did you use any sort of filter on this image? maybe a polarizer?

No polarizer was used.

The exposure was about 3 seconds at F11 on a misty overcast morning.

A slight curves adjustment was used in Photoshop which would simulate the effects of a polarizer on the deep shadows, but not the highlights.

A wonderful picture, beautifully composed and PROPERLY exposed to create the desired mood. The only negative is the use of Fuji film for fall colors. This shot would have benefited greatly from the use of Kodachrome or perhaps Agfachrome RSX E6 with an 81B to warm it up a bit. Still, a wonderful picture.
