On my way out of town yesterday, I stopped at the local lake in town, and was able to get a few shots taken.
I used Adobe Elements 8, and this has been layered, along with some other editing. I used a ND filter on my sigma 17-70 lens as well. I tried cropping this one, but liked it better this way.
I spotted some buckeye butterflies, and monarchs yesterday, on my journey south of here, so I'm off to the calendar gardens just a tad north of here, to see if they are still there.
Thank you for your comments.

Donald Duck comics were banned from Finland because he doesn't wear pants
Simply Gorgeous! Great job Sandi:)

The most precious jewel you'll ever have around your neck are the arms of your children♥
Lots of great Fall color on the edge of this beautiful lake. Would you have cropped had the ducks not been in the shot? Just wondered. I think the ducks are a wonderful element here.

LYTRO. The new light field photography. Refocus your shots AFTER you have taken them. Just click on the word LYTRO. See a VIDEO HERE.
What crystalline view Sandi! The sky a brilliant blue, the lake pristine and calm with a family of geese taking a late day swim

You have to see this in full screen to enjoy it for a 100%, really a nice autumn shot, Sandi :o)

Carpe Diem!
While it's a pretty scene to view, the photographic balance minimizes the potential in the subject material.
Cropping 2/3rds of the sky and in from the left border to between the last two ducks focuses attention on the actual subjects.

Blue sky, blue water and the autumn colours in the middle. Beautiful, Sandi.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
That line of trees is showing off the fall colors nicely already, Sandi. I like the Canada Geese out on the beautiful water. Excellent shot, and I think you made the right decision about not cropping.

A beautifully composed scene Tiggs. Your postwork is outstanding. I am going to have to invest in an ND filter.

Such a fine well composed shot Sandi. Really captures the beauty of the area.

First of all, Tigs, there's a woman on Facebook that just posted this shot. There is some definite thievery taking place. Do you want me to talk to a friend of a friend who takes care of such matters?
Secondly, I just finished reading an article on landscapes. According to the article, this shot sucks. Did you know, for example, that the horizon should ALWAYS be in the top or bottom third of the image? On my monitor your horizon 0.3 nautical miles from being right smack dab in the middle.
Thirdly, the article said that the amount of sky should be minimized unless it adds drama to the shot. A clear blue sky doesn't qualify as being dramatic. Clear blue skies are native to California; so I assume you were in town this weekend and didn't stop by. It must have cost you a fortune to fly in the autumn leaved trees.
Anyway, I give this a solid 8. The article gives you a minus 3. Do you want me to talk to the same friend of a friend and have him take care of the author of the article too?

Sandi, seems that the duckies have a long way to go. Suppose they are forgotten that they have wings, lol.
Precious scenery. Captured and edited very well. Great that you have chosen for ignoring the dogma 'Rules of Thirds' in this case. Artistical freedom in 'optima forma'.
Regards, Cornelius.

Nice capture - the ducks/geese really make it.

Why not go out on a limb, that is where the fruit is....

Really nice one Sandi - I like this version and I'm sure a different crop would be good as well

A lovely autumn view Sandi. Love the colors and the birds swimming in the lake adds to the interest. Great work!

Wow Sandi, this is so gorgeous. I'll have to figure out how to layer in my Adobe Elements 8.
