Golden Hour

Beautiful colors and lighting.

I love the warm color palette here and the foreground patterns are especially fascinating to me. Beautiful image.

The golden light on the water is fantastic.

Beautiful, warm light on the water and a perfect fall reflection. This is beautiful.

A beautiful Fall image, with the gold band in the reflection pushing this over the top. On the down side, I can't decide if I would want more or less reflection, but what is here seems a bit awkward.

Lovely water surface. I only wish the trunks were a bit more neutral in color. Otherwise great capture, Robert.

That golden light is amazing!

Magical is a great way to describe it. The combination of golden light and Autumn colours is hard to beat.

Robert,

It actually took a couple of views for me to realize that it was light hitting the surface of the water and not a bunch of brightly covered pollen or something... kind of a concentration of what we see in the foreground water, only concentrated. Anyway, the bottom line is that this light really makes this image. I would even consider cropping from the top to force some symmetry which I also think would bring emphasis to the band of light and graphics of this.

Although I like the warm color balance, and this may just be me, but in the trunks of the trees the color goes a little green. I know there's plenty of nice dark greens to influence this, but I'm just observing a slight color cast. Not a big deal and certainly within the realm of personal interpretation.

Love the play of light on the water and the nice reflection. Really nicely done.

Thanks, Lon, for pointing out the color cast. I calibrated my monitor, again, and yes it was slightly a bit to the green side. Fixed it and wow, it pops much better now.
Thanks!
Sometimes we look at an image too long and little things like a slight color cast are missed.

That is some very special light, Robert. It's almost like it's lighting the trees from below.

Really nice. Great color and light.
