Reflections of Fall

Comment by dwterry:
The hardest thing to do right with digital images in nature is get the leaves right. They are so easily over sharpened, which is what I believe has happened here. What I generally do is sharpen up to the point I like it and then back down. Or... I'll sharpen up to where I like the image overally, and then use the history brush and reduce the sharpening anywhere that there are tiny details (leaves, ripples in the water, etc).

The sky, I think, you could have had the hue adjusted slighting and the saturation pumped up a bit (gradient mask, etc). The colors in the leaves are nice, but they too could have benefited from a little saturation.

Great location and subject. The date above the door is great for the challenge, but the lighting is too harsh.

Comment by Tammer:
For me, it's an okay photo, but there are so many trees in front of the bridge it's very distracting and lessens the impact of the bridge.

VERY bland image with no punch or something to hold my focus.
