North Lake Fall

This is North Lake in the Sabrina Basin just East of Bishop

California. The Aspens in the lower elevations were just starting

to turn yellow, but there was lots of more advanced color

developing at higher elevations. This shot shows how fall color

depends on altitude (temperature). The shot may have been

better a couple of hours earlier closer to sunrise, but I like this

brightly lit image. The use of the polarizer and high altitude

combined for a unaturally dark sky, but I think it does not detract

too much from this very colorful scene. Comments welcomed.

The colors I agree are there, although I feel like the photo wants to flip over due to the dark vs. light batle between the sky and the foreground.

Fantastic colors! For the 7's I'd like to see at least this front tree a little darker. Can't freeze the water though.

Although I believe this to be a good photo, I believe another film would be more appropriate for the situation, in my opinion the Velvia overdoes it. Perhaps Provia or E100G would work. Nice photo though.

Lovely colours. The sky is a bit over-polarized for my liking though.
