Beautiful Michigan Photo

Photographer’s Note

one early morning, I set out to take some fall color pictures around the place I live and this I took in a near by park. With several shots I took, I managed to salvage most of them with great colors and contrast. Michigan fall colors are simply spectacular and we don't get much time to enjoy them. within 4 to 5 days, all the leaves had fallen and it is becoming gloomy.

Processed the RAW image adjusting the brightness and contrast, increased the tone, shadow and saturated bit to get the color. Other EXIF details are attached along

Location is Robin Hood park across an elementary school in the city of Troy.

Indeed beautiful, I would perhaps sharpen and brighten this image a bit, I passed through Michigan a week ago, the Lower Peninsula had prety colors and lighthouses, but the UP was simply gorgeous, but unfortunately I was a few weeks too late in the season to see the fall colors, next year I hope to go there in late september. There is so much photogenic potential there in Mich. If you get a chance later this year or this winter, try to see the ice formations around the lighthouses in January ot February.

Hello Rajesh,

Excellently build point of view for adding splendid zigzag of walking path in the middle of fantastic autumn colors. Dried leafs on grasses, rich spectrum of autumn colors on trees are amazing. Congratulations. Have a nice new week.

Best Regards,

Ertugrul
