Changing Colors of Autumn by espinosa6pack

catweasel: A really beautiful capture of autumnal splendour at its finest.

LynEve: Congratulations on your placement in the Colours of Nature contest :)

purmusic: Very nicely composed image.


Going to be bold here, you ready?

I am going to guess that you were dealing with a somewhat problematic sky here. As in, possibly over-exposed.

If so, some creative food for thought for you on the note of exposure:

"Exposure - Film and light record image"

Or:

;o)


/\ Kidding a bit in the above.

Mind you, there are a myriad of ways and image editing tutorials on the 'how to stuff'.


You've balanced out the blues in the sky with their counterpart; reflections on the water ... well. (Compositionally speaking, that is.)

What has seemed to happen is that by uppingthe colour saturation ... some details are lost.

So, my counsel/advice (friendly) here, would be to dial that back some.


However, and with that said?

Artisitic licence taken? Of course, I can respect that.

Burnished Bark by Silvanus

wheedance: Congrats! Love the way the colors glow.

Mythmaker: A cool natural abstract, almost fractal in nature (Pun intended.).

avedeloff: Nature does it's own abstract art for us. A great shot.

marcaribe: The sun shinning the tree makes it gleam like copper...very creative!
