One of the few pics taken of late. Sun gets that low it's just too dark even though the leaves are off. Soon be December 21 st!!
Not much in the garden yet but not putting any niger out yet - too expensive on a pension.!
D7000 Sigma 100-300mm.
Usual settings.
Levels - Paint Shop Pro.
Filter Guru shadow lift. CZM
Slight crop.

Excellent work John, I especially like this setting and the color it brings.
Looking over some of your other shots, it looks like this setting has been very productive.
You've produced some fine shots with it

Thanks Howard.
Its a small pool 1 metre across which is spring fed. been there with a hide for 35 years !
Being on the edge of woodland it can be a bit dark.

This is so cool John, and so unique. The water, and the colored leaves make this such a cool, unique shot.
