WC #509 - Past Peak

Even though the colors are not the typical blazing leaves normally portrayed in northeast autumn scenes, I really liked the way they looked in this simple reflection on the shore of an Adirondack pond.

No tricks or special post-processing. Just aiming at the water from my canoe.

Wayne, I like the fact that this image contains muted fall colors. You did good. :smile:

Regards,

Carol

This looks a lot like Piedmont peak fall colors. We don't have as many bright reds/oranges as you folks further north do. There's a nice bottom to top flow in this very pleasing image and I see lots of possible crops to emphasize different parts. I wish you'd posted a larger version for further visual exploration.

Hello Wayne. I have been aiming at the water too lately. The results often defy logic. This one looks like it has been printed onto fabric. Excellent colors, very expressive.

The texture and patterns are reminiscent of traditional flatweaving. Very lovely and creative
