Fall Colors at Nikka Yuko #6 Photo

Photographer’s Note

One of the things I've learned about shooting reflections is the reflection is less bright than the original. So using a grad filter is a good way to balance the brightness between the original image and the reflection. For a bright reflection, a 0.6 grad filter is about perfect. This darkens the original and brings the reflection up in brightness more similar to the original and makes the reflection seem all the more powerful.

PP: A noise filter, resize, frame, and unsharp mask.

High saturation worked well Mike. Entire landscape is awesome. I personally did not like chopping the right part of the colorful tree(maple?) in the right side. Otherwise its awesome.
