Green Boathouse #1

Taken with a Nikon 200mm f2 on a Canon 10D at sunrise.

The glass-like water and its reflections are appealing. However, don't you feel that the overall colour effect (except the boathouse itself) lack saturation.

I could lie and change the colours but I'd rather remain truthful to the scene. This is about 1 week after the ice has melted and the evergreens have not yet regained their colour after winter. The sun has just come up over the trees and the extreme warm light has brought out the boathouse but lowered the saturation of green in the trees.

 

 

In my folder you will see a photo taken on the same day at sunset showing a huge swing in colour and saturation created by the soft cool backlighting.
