Enchanted Valley III

Your comments and suggestions are most welcomed...

Beautiful!

I suppose one could quickly say this is an almost out-of-focus soft shot...but No, you obviously know your equipment and use it tremendously well...(yes, I did go and look at your other amazing shots on display here).

 

Wonderful Stuff! I've just started trying to get my (shiny new 'real') camera to do what I think I want it to do ...I have a hellluva lot to learn.

 

Thank You for the inspiration.!

A beautiful addition to the series, David. At a first glance, this looked busy to me, but obviously one should view this larger. I like the backlighting on the colorful leaves. Patterned together with the darker background they are reminiscent of a sunlit painted glass mosaic window to the autumn nature. I guess I should be going digital when I see how you can handle these difficult light situations. Regards... Peter

This must be a double-conversion from a single RAW or exposure bracketing, stunning the hues` quality in shadow. Light and color are extremely beautiful, and the fabulous organic forms and textures are a joy to discover. A symphony of harvest colors. No nitpicks from me

Thanks for your comments folks. This image was processed in HDR using Photomatix. I am very pleased with the results and it printing up nicely as well. Mike you are right about the softness here. I ended up having to redo the image there was a slight blur using three different images which I was able to eliminate. Peter, the dynamic range possible with digital is getting more and more interesting jump in friend...

David, an extraordinary visual effect and a beautiful outcome aesthetically too. (Not always the case with some HDR images I have seen!) In this case the technology has been your servant and you have created an atmosphere of warmth and magic assisted by your bold composition. I'm taking notes....

David, it is the first time I see an HDR which is not a church ;-))and it is fabulous! it has a magic glow of colors, with the peeping blue sky. very well composed. has a strong presence, simply beautiful addition to your collection of works!

Thank you both, Colin and Pnina. I am so pleased to receive your responses...

I love the pattern of branching and the blue sky which really intensifies the yellows and oranges,
