Took picture in few stop under exposed to get some vivid colors..otherwise early morning mist destroying visual quality..

“Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.

I love the mood you captured here. A warm and misty feeling. Not sure if I'd change a thing.

This could be a painting by an artist from the Hudson River School. Compliments from me don't get better than that. :-) It's beautiful.

I really like the light and color you captured and the mood created is great. I agree with Nancy that this has a painterly feel to it. Excellent work.

Manjot, the colors in this image are really beautiful and I like your composition too. I would enjoy walking down that road. It is generally not a good idea to underexpose an image for the purpose of accentuating colors, as you have done in this case, because an underexposed image will have much more noise and less detail in the file than a correctly exposed image. Once you have taken the image you can always adjust the exposure in your processing to obtain the desired colors. You may wish to do some online research into "Expose to the Right" which is encouraged by many professional photographers.

By the way, did you know about the NPN recommended guideline of making 5 comments for every image that you post? There was a lengthy thread in the NPN Discussion Forum recently where it was pointed out by several newcomers that they never knew this guideline existed. It not only ensures that there will be enough comments for everyone, but making critiques will really help in your learning process.

Thanks all who are like my pic and thanks Carol for like Colors of picture . I love to read your comments you are right it is not good idea to underexpose for color. But it is one part of photography to get colors , I already camera control on vivid colors and more saturation. and One thing more I intentionally created noise for Painterly effect . Anyhow I keep your valuable comments and suggestions in mind ..
