An your photo's better and better. Faved as well. This is really a cut above PJ. The deepness of the blue is spellbinding. It makes the reflections outstanding. I like how your eyes are funneled to the autumn horizon. I bet you stayed there awhile and enjoyed the scene. Awesome photo. Have a nice Sunday, PJ

PJ, this is great. It does something that I haven't seen a photo do for a while, namely, make me want to see more. I'd love to borrow some bird's wings and fly over those trees in the distance, and go marvel at those firey reds in the distance. As for the scene itself, it practically screams "fresh,clean, fall air". Faves? hell yeah.
As Tick said, this is an awesome photo. In fact, I have to agree with Ariana -- perfect in all ways. The colors, the contrast . . . how could anyone improve on this?
beautiful colours and presentation! .. I agree the days are cooler, but far better for photography! .. No flies or Midgies! .. You certainly made my day with this!

Yes, yes,...go on with the poem. lol It looks a lot like Digi's neck of the woods too. Only thing missing here is the huge looming, white mountain tops. Beauty of a shot, PJ.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

~ Excellent photo PJ, in all ways! My favorite part is the perspective of the tree line on both sides leading us down to see more...and then to have the reflections of the sky and trees was icing on the cake...absolutely SUPERB work!

Good morning PJ, What a crisp and beautiful scene to wake up to. The amber of the grass and the deep blue reflection. is so inviting, I wanna run over there and jump in. If it's not to cold I may jump in the water too. MINE!! lol ~~>-mDs

Not everywhere. I havent seen a blue sky since weeks. I am only glad, I have a couple of photos left in my files ... Beautiful shot, I love colors and reflections here.

I too thought is was a little saturated, so I saved it and let Photoshop and Intellihance Pro take a look at it. The recommendation was to brighten, reduce shadows and reduce color by -6. I have emailed you the revision and saved it for my wallpaper. Hope I wasn't being too presumptious, coming from a Rockies fan!

Pristine clarity and a most perfect picture - I DO hope I get to vote on it when I eventually get to the VB. I'm glad I'm back, would not want to have missed this.

Well balanced composition of a very lovely scene, nice work PJ! I love the reflection in the water with the trees and deep blues of the cloud dappled sky. I don't think have a problem with the saturation (per previous comments) but maybe just a touch too much contrast or sharpening? It's beautiful none the less. :)

Just want you to know, I think the index on this is ridiculous. It should definitely be a 10!!! That is one part of Caedes I don't really like, because the indexes seem to be way too low on many excellent photos....
