Photographer’s Note

Like yesterdays' post, here are more fall colors at the local Japanese garden. This was shot in the still morning light. Rew asked for a closer shot.

Hello Mike,
Amazing photo. It looks like there is still a touch of noise in it though. Beautiful reflection in the water. I love the POV and the variance of colors, they really capture my attention.

Thanks for sharing,
Rhonda

Hi Mike,
The colour of the sky, autumn leaves and the reflections on the water are exquiste. Even the leaves on the water surface look good. Thank you for sharing.
Cheers,
Debbie

Fantastic colours! It's that time of the year again, so we begin the great race for fall colour shots! That one tree is so bright it looks almost like it's on fire - great work to keep the intensity of the colour!

There they are, the great vivid colours of the autumn! You've catched them really well. Clever composition and very nice reflections in the water too.
As mentioned before there is indeed some noise, but I think it would be tricky to remove it, cause you would also loose detail.
Nice use of wide angle.
I'd like to have that lens too..do you love that one?

Beautiful picture, it makes me dreaming…I love the colors of the trees, the mysterious dark color of the water and the framing. You did a great job, you have my respects. On the other hand, because I’m envious, I’d like to criticize you but this picture is flawless.
Congratulations,
Nelu

Wow! I like this a lot.
I think the tighter crop makes the very most of those stunning colours, especially the contrast of trees against sky. The reflections are beautiful too and well captured within the frame.
My wish was granted, all right! Thank you!

Hi Mike,
I like the fall colors. I know that you have taken the water too to show the reflection. But I have done a worshop to show the actual fall colors more. Have a look and let me know whether it was useful.

Hello Mike,
The red tree give the right color contrast and is well positioned.
Well done

Beautiful colours of autumn, lovely light, and great reflection. A little less of the water might emphasise the trees more, but I think it is nice to see the whole tree reflected. A simple but very appealing photo. Prefer it to the previous one.
Regards,
Andrew

Bonjour Mike,
Belle composition bien équilibrée grâce à l'utilisation judicieuse du reflet, les couleurs sont très belles et l'ensemble dégage énormément de sérénité.
A bientôt sur TE pour de nouvelles aventures.

Hi Mike

Lovely picture with great colours. The reflections are pretty sharp and the framing gives a well balanced composition.

I had heard a lot of Lethbridge because of their WHL team, so now I'm glad to know there's also a Japanese garden there. ;o)

Thanks for sharing

Nice strong colors and good composition. This really depicts Fall in North America.
