Hello Cessy,
The red tree is really great in the composition here.
Nice reflexion too

Hi, Cessy. A very nice palette of autumn colours with a particular mention for the red-leaved tree. The reflections in the dark water are very nice. The lighter band of ground in the middle of the picture enhances the contrast between the reflections and the rest of the picture.

Bonsoir Cessy,
Très belle composition avec ce plan d'eau calme qui reflète l'image.
L'arbre rouge accroche le regard et la composition est vraiment agréable à regarder.

Merci du partage.
Vincenzo

Hi Cessy
I've never heard of this place. Is it near Signal de Bougy ?
It certainly looks the perfect place to visit in autumn. The red & orange tree is absolutely stunning and I like how you've captured the reflection in the perfectly still water. The blue sky sets it off well.
Regards
Nikki

Hi Cessy,
how beautiful the red tree in the nice landscape. Such a nice reflection on the surface of the water.
Great colours and lightning.
I like the vertical for this.

Hi Cessy.
The colours are splendid (autuum is lovely). And not only the colours: the vertical view is not usual, but let us see the reflection over the water. And that's very interesting.

Well done.

Hi Cessy,

It's very beautiful the whole frame, the compo, the colors. It's really amazing and stunning the red one, that becomes the center of the shot. It's very beautiful! Thanks,

Angel.

Wonderful colors and reflection Cessy, very well framed, very pleasant, well seen.

Colours are very beautiful on your picture. The polariser did very well here by deepening all colours. The compsosition with the red tree is great together with the reflections in the lake. very well seen and very well executed.

Hi Cessy.

Very nice colours, you remind me that there is an arboretum near me I have to visit and maybe take some picture for TE.
Lovely dark blue colour on the pond contrasts with the rich autumn colours.

take care, Aleks

Hi cessy

Indah sekali! I like the solitary red tree, & the superb reflections in the water. Good colour & sharpness. Bagus!

Paolo (40651) 2006-10-24 4:27

Hi Cessy, fantastic shot, with typicall autumnal colours, and amazing reflection and great quality, POV and light.
excellent view.
thanks, ciao

The light, colors and composition made this shot the best autumn photograph that I saw so far this year. What a nice idea to have an arboretum. I Didn't know that such places exist! There is something I didn't know while I lived in CH. But I bet that under all the thousands species of tress you didn't find a Sequoia?!
Your lightening is perfect and seems so natural, however to get the right balance when shooting reflection + original almsot always you get some imbalance. Not you, not here.
Cheers, Peter

Very nice seasonal impression, Cessy. The autumnal colors in this one are beautiful, and the reflection gently amplifies the relaxing natural setting. Your framing is well made; I think that focusing just on the red tree and its reflection might also yield a cool photo.

Hi Cessy,
Amazing shot with wonderful colour contrast and stunning reflections!!

Hi Karina,
I was there saturday end of afternoon. We almost meet us. I have to intend to post picture from this place in a few days.
I like this little lake and it's very beautiful.
I know this place as I went there several times.
You will see my pictures soon.
Greetings
Pierre-André

hi cessy
Maybe we had the TE gathering in the wrong weekend. Seems you have a fairly good weather in this one..
Top mirror effect and of course great detail with the red tree.
Well seen, well disposed compo

AmiBe (6042) 2006-10-25 12:47

Hello Cessy,
belle compo automnale avec de belles couleurs saturées.
ça me dérange un peu que les arbres jaunes touchent le cadre, j'aurais bien vu un cadrage + à gauche.
Sinon le vertical est bien vu, je préfère celle-ci à la version horizontale sur smugmug.
a+

john_c (24635) 2006-10-26 10:46

Hi Cessy,
A superb autumn capture, with rich placid waters in the foreground and magnificent shadow effects. I like your decision to use the vertical format here, as there are many layers to the scene and a good sense of depth obtained. The clarity of detail is first rate. Well done, Cessy.
John

Hi Cessy,
Wow! The colors look like fireworks! :o)
That red tree is spectacular and I like the way the sky looks darker in its reflection (that blue is beautiful!). I've a lot about this place, but I've never actually been there. Your pictures make me want to visit soon.
Have a nice day.
Brigitte

Stepan (27167) 2006-11-05 2:29

I'm not sure about the vertical framing choice, but I'm sure the colors and the red reflexion on this deep blue is wonderful. Impressive colors composition.
Stéphane
