An Autumn Waterfall Photo

Photographer’s Note

Taken at an old sawmill in Lexington, Kentucky. I added a vignette to this photo to try and make your eye go towards the reflection in the water, which i think is the prettiest part of the picture.

Beautiful picture, very nice composition. The white object to the left is a little distracting, maybe if that was cloned out, the picture would be even better. Its very nice, and i like the postwork :)

What a beautiful shot. I like the contrast of the perfectly still water above the dam and a split second later it is turned into action. Thanks for sharing

Really nice job in PP, Jason. This is a gorgeous shot; I like the lighting and the reflection.

Hi Jason. I like the post process here. The white vignette works the way you were wanting it to, I think. Doing great on the sharpness on your latest shots too. Another trick you might like is to create a fill layer on Photoshop right after doing your selection. Then you can selectively add or erase parts of your vignette with a soft brush. Anyway, not needed here, it came out great and I love the reflection of the pale leaves on the upper pool.

Hi Jason,
Very nice shot. The reflections and autumn colours are very pretty. I like the vignette. It creates a soft, calm,and peaceful atmosphere and does point the eyes to the reflections and waterfall. Well composed. Keep up the good work!

A nice picture with vibrant Autumn colours and perfect reflections in the still water. I'm not too keen on the vignette but thats just my personal taste.
