This is only one of the many photos that she had taken, and she would like to share it with everyone to see what you think, this is "not a whipping post" but she would like to know the truth. Please be honost and injoy.

Hello Jenn

I went to your smug site and looked at the original - gorgeous shot - really eye candy. It can be improved imo by a touch of added contrast via a very slight curves adjustment in photoshop - it'll bolden the colors, too. I did notice that the original is a bit oof, and I'm wondering if perhaps the autofocus grabbed on something really near... at f/8 you'll want to be focusing at least halfway into your scene - esp a scene like this.

Thanks for sharing!

I like it.
I love fall colors. That is the one thing that I miss about the midwest is the change of seasons and the colors associated with it. ( I live in the desert southwest now)

It's a matter of taste, but if you use a longer shutter speed (1 -2 seconds) it will smooth the ripples in the water out and give you more of a mirror effect. But it's strictly a choice, not an undeniable rule of photography.

Thanks for sharing.
