Oaks and Vernal Pool

I haven't posted in this gallery in a long time, so, it's time to change that! Please see the large version. Thanks.

I found this nice scene not far from home. We haven't had much of a winter here in Northern California, so any rain and stormy weather is very welcome. It was a beautiful morning after the storm.

Nikon D-7100
18-140mm Nikkor @ 27mm
ISO 640, f11 @ 1/500
TK's Luminosity Masks
Full disclosure: I cloned out an offending fence post and some barbed wire.

Your thoughts are always appreciated :smile:

The light on this one is really beautiful Preston. I especially enjoy seeing the lush greens after a fresh storm! :smile:

Beautiful greens, fine shapes and textures in the trees and fence posts, and an interesting sky with all of those clouds. Certainly is peaceful.

Such a serene image. The color of the sky is just wonderful. Love the prominent, detailed reflection in the pond's calm water. All-around lovely.
