an autumn watercolor
Water, colors, and light fascinate me - this scene was created by nature and captured by my camera. Other than controlling the ISO, the aperture (manual), the focus (manual), and the shutter speed (manual), what you see in this photograph is the complete frame as it was shot - i used the Curves layer to find the black, white, and gray points to correct any color cast, a slight adjustment of Brightness/Contrast, and minor sharpening using the Unsharp Mask - that's it, no cropping.
Despite my best efforts to capture a scene the way I want, it is rare that I succeed to the degree that I want. For me, this photograph is one of those rare occasions. Nobody is harder on my work than I am. This is a photograph that I truly like. It feels very weird to say that.
Hopefully, others will enjoy it too.
