Lake Trail Blur

[Cheryl Slechta]

We're finally getting some fall color here - this was a stand of sweet gums taken on the Lake Trail at Lake Wauberg in Paynes Prairie Preserve. I used Nik Skylight filter and levels.
f/16, 2 sec. ISO 100.
Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions appreciated.:S3:

Nicely done in all respects, Cheryl -- the blur, composition, and processing. I just took another look, and I really like the composition a lot. Wonderful colors, too. My son always wants to leave Florida in the fall to see the colors farther north. It's good to see you do get at least some.

Absolutely lovely, Cheryl. I like the comp, muted blurred colors, and how the interesting textured forest floor fades to dark, giving the image depth. Beautiful processing too.
I also like seeing these colors now. Ours was gone in September.

Lovely Cheryl! I like the soft colors and the amount of blur. I like the composition. I can only suggest a sliver more on the left. Again a lovely blur!!:S3:

Hi Cheryl, love the amount of blur and colors here. I too would like to see a little more on the left, but not a deal breaker if you don't have anymore. Nicely blurred!

Cheryl, absolutely lovely. I'm only repeating what others have said. Great colors. Gotta love those sweet gums in the fall. Very nice blur.
