I made this image last fall on the Roaring River in Oregon. The vine maple likes to turn yellow along the edges of water. When it is away from a water source it generally turns red.
Wow, you still managed to blur the water without the leaves moving on you. Must have been a still afternoon. It makes a lovely background for the color and form of the tree.
The only thing I don't like about this photo Michael is that I didn't take it!!! lol
Amazing, breathtaking beauty....I felt instant peace and calm when I viewed this image. Thank you for sharing it with us! :))
Hypothesis: When a freeze occurs in the fall it suspends the production of chlorophyl in the leaves thereby allowing all of the colors besides green to appear. The trees by the water may be somehow insulated from the freeze in some way, thereby not succumbing to the cessation of chlorophyl production as easily or in as much magnitude as those trees that are not near the water.
I really like this picture.
Brilliant. Beautiful red and yellow tones on the foreground and green and blues in the background.... Fascinating swirls and textures in the blurred water too. Favourits.

Mercy, here's another one of yours I have missed. Top feature of this photo? Those brilliant leaves in the foreground, well yes, and the rich detail of the tree trunk. You have a lot of depth here. Really like this photo and it's obvious others do also.
Your photos are always fantastic..how do you do that? Super clarity, composition & detail-I sound like a broken record! The rushing water makes the trees and leaves seem to be moving too. Colors are fantastic-golden leaves mixed with the green ones-a perfect blending. Nice white border which does the white water justice. Another splendid shot Michael. Thanks for all the beauty you show us :*>
