Late in October, my wife and our two dogs spent a weekend in the Tiveden NP here in Sweden. The autumn colors was at peak and we where blessed with nice crisp weather. This shot was taken when returning from a 12 km long walk arround the lake.

Oh man, Autumn in Scandiavia is just so great. Don't know exactly what it is, it simply looks different from the autumn in central europe. And we have birches as well...
Loving it and brings back memories.

Beautiful palette and what a place to explore! Looking at the water line, it appears to be a bit tilted.

Great colors, their vibrancy is really amazing. The small grasses in the front are a tad bit distracting, but it's personal taste on if you want to clone them or not. Very nice shot :toast:

My only suggestion would be to comment a little more on others' photos. Your skill would give you a lot to offer others in terms of advice :smile:

Christer,

This is a very nicely composed and captured autumn scene. I really like the foreground color for a base and the rest of the scene just seems so nicely nicely in balance. If I had a nit, it would be that I would try and pull back on the contrast as this seems a little heavy to my eye. But perhaps not to others. I would also try and nuetralize the color a bit in the white tree trunks that have a slight purple cast to them. Otherwise, this is quite a pretty autumn scene.

Thanks for all valuable comments. Tried to follow the recommendations as far as I could. Straighten it up, less contrast, less sat on the white trees and taken away the small disturbing grass. Once again, thanks for taking Your time on this picture
