Alaskan fall color
Spent a week on the Kenai in September doing landscape photography. Here is some fall color on the small scale. Taken near Skilak Lake.

Nikon D2X, Nikon 70-200 AF-S VR 2.8 at 82 mm, iso 100, f16, 2.5 sec.
late afternoon exposure. Tripod.

Constructive comments always appreciated.

Nice play on the red & green here. I like the way you worked the corners in this. These little micro scenes are so cool!!

Good macro scene. I like the colors and detail. Looking forward to more shots of Kenai.

Best way to get critiques around here is to comment on some yourself. As for this image, I'm not feeling the scene. :frown:

A polarizer might have been the ticket to saturate up the colors a little and get rid of the glare on the green leaves. Nice nonetheless!

glare can also be selectively removed by adjusting the highlights in PS and saturation could likewise be adjusted in PS. I just don't know how saturated most people like to see things...
