This is Estes Lake a fav of mine. I have never hit it when it was at height of foliage and a camera in hand and good lighting. This year I went this way several times with a camera. I hit it this one morning and the sun was just rising high enough. The blue in the sky got washed out so I edited a tweak to bring out the sky but not saturate the trees as they were truly this color.
Thank you for taking Morning Light to Top Twenty. I knew I loved it and am glad you liked it too.
This is stunning - the colors, mist and reflections are so captivating. Congratulations on the Top Twenty - your beautiful image deserved that place of honor!
I missed many colors on my visit to Maine but still have a chance for some color in a couple weeks here in Georgia.
