Autumn wonderland

by Dorin Bofan

Gallery: LandscapePosted November 2, 2009240 views10 comments
Hello everybody!
This was taken in the morning, about half hour after the previous image I posted. The fog had almost lifted making room for light filtered through clouds. Everything transformed and it was absolutely amazing to watch it. I thought this composition would best tell the story of the place and atmosphere in autumn, especially that the water ripples in the fg provided the necessary interest for me not to include something static.
I hope you like it. I sure do, at least just for the fact that it brings wonderful memories.

350d, Tokina 12-24, f10, blend of 2 exposures

Nice reflection, and I like the fog up in the trees. Looks like you still have some fall color

Autumn turns everything into a wonderland like here. All the patches of colors here and there - they look so nice. I would tyke out a hint of the saturation on the reflected sky as it just doesn't fit to the rest of the scene. Otherwise, lovely.

Excellent color and comp. The reflection and the clouds clinging to the hilltops add a lot to this one.

Very nice image Dorin. I love the ripples detail and the soft quality of the light here. :toast:

Absolutely love it, love the way the blue of the sky and the blue of the FG water frame the mountainside and reflection. :toast:

Nice, simple, dreamy. You could get away with more saturation in the reds and golds.

beautiful, dorin. what a place, wouldn´t mind being there at all with this mood going on. very pleasent autumn image. I might desaturate a tad the blues in the fg reflection, it´s more noticable on the larger version, just a thought and a very minor issue though. great comp, imo.... :toast: !
