I have a million of these images but never know what forum to post them in. They aren't really macro and they aren't really landscape but they are nature-based...
This is from late October right when the leaves were at their peak. It's a reflection of the trees along the small lake's edge not far from my home.
Canon 40D, EF 70-200mm
f9 @ 1/160th, ISO 200
Early evening light, handheld
Processed in ACR & CS4; small crop and I toned down a few white areas just a bit.
Beautiful color tones and reflection Jules, these images are always welcomed in OOTB. :)
Thanks, Denise...I guess I keep thinking that if I do normal pp then it isn't really OOTB but the abstractness really is! Okay, then get ready, cause I got a million of 'em from this fall!
I love reflections, and fall colors, so I find this image delightful. What makes it truly special, to my eye, is the variation of texture on the water. There are ripples in the background, a smooth section in the middle, and soft fluttering ripples in the foreground. The rich colors and abstract white lines - Birch tree reflections? - are beautiful.
Fabulous and would be OOTB without any filters Jules. Love the finished image. :)
Beautiful reflections, Jules. Love the fall colors and the abstract pattern of the ripples and tree trunks. Well done.
Thanks everyone! Susan, that's why I liked this one as well - the different patterns of activity in the water really made this one jump out at me over many others I took that evening.
Julie, this is definitely OOTB stuff. I love these impressionistic type images. I like the way you have balanced out the tree trunks throughout the comp.
Jules, I hope we see lots more - I love this one.:)
Thanks Andrew and Cheryl...I loved the position of the tree trunks in this one as well. Sometimes you get lucky and it all falls into place... ;)
