    Default Autumn at Bon Echo

    An early morning shot of autumn color and Bon Echo rock at Mazinaw Lake in Ontario's Bon Echo Provincial Park. The red looks a little too much in this conversion to me, not so in the TIFF.

    Ugly white sky just above the rock face. Historical note - Bon Echo rock contains some of the largest concentrations of ancient pictographs in North America.

    That really rocks; how about posting a larger version with a horizontal of 1024?

    Love the color bleeding into the water.
    Cheers, Jay

    Hi Andrew, agree with you that the red is a bit over but easily corrected. Good LL on the lower rt with the red tree as your center of interest. Agree that the colored reflection aids in showing some interest in the water. The backround rock wall is a nice contrast to the wooded shoreline...

    Very nice Andrew. I spent many a weekend out at the Bon Echo ACC cabin rock climbing when I was a university student - a great surprise to see it represented here. Ditto on saturation comments (red in the leaves / magenta in the rocks).

    Thanks for the comments guys. Very much appreciated. Re-posting it larger, tried toning down the reds a bit and adjusted it slightly in Nik's "Remove Color Cast"

    Mate, thanks for posting the larger image - WOW - it bleeds!!

    Now that I see the larger image, when I put the top edge of an open notepad it suggests that it needs a degree of CCW rotation. Squareness is just something that always catches my eye though not everyone agrees all of the time.
    Cheers, Jay

    Hey Andrew,
    Everyone captured my thoughts on the OP well.....so looking at the repost I think you did well with the cast removal! I like the way the shore leads you into the scene......do wish for something more in the water on the LL......but this is still very well done as presented and you made some excellent comp choices with the sky not included!

    Andrew,

    I like the report as Roman commented. I do not see any rotation issues with it.
