Fall on the River

After my early October trip up to northern New England, I was able to take advantage of the late fall color back home in Connecticut. I got some nice mist on the river, and a nice relaxing morning. This one was taken about 15 minutes before sunrise. Looking forward to any comments and critiques!

This has a chilly fall feel to it. The mist and the similar pattern to the water flow compliment each other.  The trees could be brightened a little, but it might ruin the brooding feeling that I like about it.  Very nice as is.

Really nice fall scene with a beautiful moody feel.  Hope you didn't have to get your feet wet to get this vantage point.  This season was a challenge finding any colors other than gold, brown and yellow.  Nice work.

Craig, I'm absolutely enjoying this image. It has such a wonderful feel and I think you captured the mood perfectly. I would not want to change anything here. Sitting back viewing the larger version and just enjoying it !! cool

Craig,

I'm totally with Nick on this.  This is wonderful.  The fact that the autumn color is well past peak AND that the color is an accent to the scene and NOT the story of the image makes this image unique and refreshing.  This is about the river, the flow of the water among the rocks, the hovering mist AND the soft beautiful light. In fact, the light striking the rocks is just beautiful.

Again like Nick, I'm just sitting back and enjoying this.  I have no nits or suggestions.  A gorgeous image deserving of a large print.

Beautiful, Craig. The river leads me nicely through the image and the dreamy backdrop adds a nice sense of a mysterious mood. Real sweet.

I like the mood a lot but maybe a bit less water and a bit more vegetation?

Thanks all for the comments!

Patricia, no getting my feet wet, this vantage point is accessible from shore and is about 15 feet above the river!

Dan, just out of frame in the upper left is a blank wall of fog that I wanted to exclude here. I will be posting some other frames where that area is shown, though, along with the left shore.

Interesting overall magenta look to this image. It goes well with the fall foliage. Good composition with sweeping arcs. I wouldn't change a thing.
