Winter meets Fall

Gallery: LandscapePosted November 3, 2011216 views5 comments

Saturday October 29th This was the scene I came across while driving HWY 441. Nice fall color down low with hoar frost and a little snow on Mount LeConte. The clouds helped with a natural "ND filter" for the white mountain top. Just FYI the only saturation adjustment on the foreground was a +4 on the reds to try to make the few red trees pop but the yellows were really that bright. I did however have to help the colors up top a little.
All comments and suggestions welcome.

After viewing again I think I went a little overboard on the sharpening but at least thats an easy fix.

Very nice Bruce, same theme as my last shot, different coast!

My only suggestion might be to darken and increase the detail in the sky a bit and ad a little contrast to the rest of the scene. Nice capture!

A very nice view that shows a beautiful aspect of autumn - colors and fresh snow. I don't find that the colors appear "pushed", looks like very natural lightning and colors.

Such a beautiful color palette you have here. I like the simple composition also.
I am not sure about the suggested darkening sky.

Really nice mix of colors, light, and textures. As well as contrasts in color and tones. Well done.
