 As Leaves Float By

Taken at neighbors near to our daughter, in Brisbane Australia. It is about a 4 acre block with this lagoon type dam in the corner. Liked the reflections in the water, and the leaves that had fallen. The full frame was the shot but when processing saw this moody scene and cropped it out.

Very pretty. I like the reflection shots. I especially like the sunlight on the water in this shot. I'd like to see the blue toned down slightly.

Thats a lot more color saturation than I would ever have put on, but it is fun to look at. It gives it a bit of a painterly effect. Nicely done.

A beautiful painting feel to this photo. The tree on the left appears strong and slightly overpowers the delicacy of the rest of the photo. Beautiful colors!

You've over-cooked the blue.

Colors seem a bit garish but image forms a nice abstract.
