Wonderfully vibrant colours and I love the way the trees are razor-sharp but their reflections are truly watercolours - as in paints. That cloudless blue sky really complements the trees. So glad you took a detour and captured this. Magnificent!

you just never know where you'll find something you want to photograph. it's a good thing you got off the freeway! the bluish water and the beautiful red/yellow/orange trees are simply magnificent. the reflection is amazing.! jen

Wow !! Fantastic photo, gorgeous colours, beautiful area. Thank you so much for sharing.

a great image Michael^^ such awesome fall colors, never tire of it^^ like the deep blue of the lake versus the blue of the sky. wonderfull contrast between the forest and its reflection^^

Oh goodie, another post from you. Glad you doubled back and captured this. This is rich. No wonder it caught your eye. Those lake reflections are marvelous. Hopefully, you have some more of these.

Well worth the the time and trouble to get This Shot!
The colors and the water reflection are just Stunning!! The Sharpness of the shot....the whole thing is Beautiful!

Beautiful landscaping water reflections and awesome blue skies. Your frame work is excellent! "Pansy stamp of perfection" into my favs!!

Stunning colors! I'm so glad you got off the road to photograph it.

That is a fabulous shot! The stillness of the water, acting as a mirror and the intense colors. Beautiful. It would do well for more of us to get off of I-90! Thank you!

The colors are intense. That water is royal blue! A lovely find. Maybe stopping to view mother nature took you out of harm's way briefly. Seventy five mph? I'm surprised it caught your eye as you were rushing by! LOL A beautiful shot. Well worth the stop.

i love your reflection here! mind if i ask what shutter speed gave this effect?

Well done, a very stunning post. The reflections are awesome and the colors are wonderful. Thanks for making the effort to get this beautiful capture and sharing it with our community.

Fantastic image Michael

Great shot. I think I know where it is but not quite sure.

Absolutely stunning shot of this gorgeous scenery.Technically I think it's perfect and your framing sets it off very well. Makes an amazing DT. Thanks!

Hi Michael, so glad you are back again, treating us with these exceptional and brilliant photos! This is really extraordinaire in every possible way! The colors are unbelievable, all earthly bound under that fantastic sky of blue, and then seen again, as it is reflected in the water, how beautiful, simply beautiful Mike, Sincerely, Marilyn

Worth your time coz its beautiful. Amazing tranquility on the water.

A splenderific capture - I'm glad you took the exit :) The view is exquisite. Such clarity and composition is meant to be admired. The colours are beyond beautiful, and the reflections mirrored in that clear lake are splendid. Wow, the sky and that lake are extremely blue. This is a magnificent desktop view and a definate keeper! Thanks Michael, for this ultra gorgeous sight :^>

I'm so glad you took the little detour and the time to take this shot. The colors and reflection are spectacular!

This is marvellous. Gorgeous shot. Those reflections are amazing and the colours breathtaking. Thank you for having interrupted your journey to show us this beauty!

Love the clarity and the rich reflected blue.

Now, I know I have just found my favourite wallpaper for this season. The colors will keep me warm and cheerful during dark and wet fall days to come. If I could only suggest - the efect would more than perfect if you managed to show more of the mountains in the distance.

Wow, I'm speechless!

So beautiful,and peaceful

A beautiful image.

You never fail to disappoint with your unerring 'eye.'

Beautiful. And ... thank you for sharing ... once again. :o)

Wonderful capture Michael.I can relate about the sudden stop to aquire a image lol.I just hope I don't have to use that as an excuse to the law some day:)
Peace&Respect Jojo

Unbeliveable photo! But why the the frames... : (

Outstanding reflection Michael .

I have a special affinity for autumn. Maybe because I'm a September baby (Sep. 22). I seem alive when the leaves begin to turn, and that sky is autumn blue (a blue no other sky ever gets). This is a beautiful photo.

I'm also an Autumnal baby (October though) and I adore these colours!
So vivid!

Michael, I'm realtively new on Caedes and I just ran across this one. Just great and thought I would tell you so. I put it into favorites. Everyone else has given you all the technical reasons why, I just wanted to say it really pleased my eye and mind.

Beautiful colors and reflections,the photo is very nice.

This is about as clear, and unblemished as they come. Vivid, bright, colorful and so rich in tones. Could've sworn I'd already commented on this. +faves

Wow, such gorgeous colors, they really stand out against that beautiful blue! Added to my faves, thank you for sharing.... carissa =D
