Fall Colors

Uploaded: September 26, 2008

Description

Another photo of Johnny Smith Pond taken yesterday. I squatted behind some tall reeds to take the photo. That gave me the vertical color smear. Tell me what you think.....do you like it or is it distracting.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, ExposureTime: 1999/100000 seconds, ISO: 200, FocalLength: 200.00 mm, Model: NIKON D300

The colors in this image are so beautiful. I like the idea Nicholas, I do find it a bit distracting. Maybe if all of the reeds were approximately the same height.

But this is such an amazing scene. I love the mood.

Good luck!

Thank you Donna. That was my thought also. Maybe I should have snipped the taller ones....LOL

I really like the added color on the right. It's unique!

What a beautiful place!! I'd love to see more!!! #6516027

Outstanding capture with unique colours. I quite agree with Donna. As such this shot is so rich with colour that there is no need of further colours. #6516071

Thank You for your critique Tarun. I very much appreciate the comments. Thats exactly why I enjoy this photo site so much. Also....where else but here can I enjoy so many great photos.

Fortunatly I did take another photo without the reeds. I'll post it tomorrow and maybe you both can let me know what you think.

This is a wonderful place to shoot fall colors, Nicholas. And you did well to capture the same. The reeds seem to be a bit distracting. Would love to see the picture without them tomorrow. #6516371

I also agree, very beautiful scene and capture but the reeds are a little bit distracting. To me, if they were a little more in focus and kept to the right corner, it might be better or maybe not, I don't know. Anyway, your color is beautiful!!....Denny #6516625

Wonderful colors, I tend to agree with the reeds being slightly distracting. But, still a wonderful photo. Can't wait to see the one you took without them. #6517296
