The Midas Touch Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is the fourth photo from our day out at Thorp Perrow Arboretum. For information see here and here.
I took this one just across the lake from the house. I wish we had been allowed at the other side so I could have had the reflection of this tree in the lake. I hope you like it as much as I do.

A Midas Touch indeed. Reminds me of the Old Master paintings in the National Gallery. Well everything works here. Perhaps the leaves are a tad bright, but I'm only nit picking.

Excellent work.
Aubrey.

Hi Kath,

Great colors in the trees leaves, good levels and detail. I like how we cannot see the house- but your are given a hint of it looks like via the reflection on the lake.

Cheers Kath!

Hi Kath,
That's a lovely fall colors scene, colors are splendid and I like too the seren atmosphere added by the water and the reflections, great clarity too.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Hi Kath
Lovely autumn weather. Nice composition, dividing the frame to tree, water and background. There's something in those leaves, that JPG compression cannot handle well. There's compression artefacts in the sky, and I have the same problem myself.
Regards,
Kari

Hello Kath,

maybe I'm a culture-barbarian, but I never heard of Midas. Your photo shows us beautiful green-yellow colours in combination to the blue. Perhaps when you ask the owners permission by showing them your curriculum of TE...

regards,

Luc.

Hi Kath.
Lovely colour (good the title) and nice composition.
The autumn has arrived and here we have the colours of the autumn.
Thanks for share.

Hi Kath. Personally I don't see any artifacts in the sky. I would imagine they are there but I would think because of the randomness in the leaves that would help conceal it. At any rate I do like the reflections. Nice one Kath.

weswang (18223) 2005-11-08 10:48

Hi Kath, I like the beautiful color and the light angle captured in this autumn picture. Nice reflections and nice use of the sky as background to make the contrast. A well taken picture with sharpness and clarity.

Bonjour Kath,
je suis amoureux des charmes de l'automne, il donne à ces arbres que j'aime déjà beaucoup, leurs plus belles couleurs, le printemps s'occupant des fleurs et des senteurs.
Un très bon cadrage et une exposition pafaite, des couleurs bien saturées.
Regards from Belgium.
Daniel.

Nice colours of Autumn. Appearance of shadows and leaves on the water provide a different feeling.

plimrn (19558) 2006-12-08 22:51

Hi Kath,
Old gold but still lovely. One does expect the tree to be reflectied in the lake but it actually adds delightful & mysterious detyail to see the reflection of the building hidden behind the trees.
