Fake-y looking?

14 frames today: 5 on the way to the lake; 9 on the lake.

I was unhappy with my initial shots of the trees on the shore, so I checked the camera settings and found one called “Super Vivid”. I’m concerned that it isn’t very realistic. (On the other hand, I didn’t think that the non-Super-Vivid was terribly realistic, either. Such a quandary!)

I happen to like the colors and don't think they are too overdone. I have a vivid setting but not super-vivid! Might be cool to crop out the real trees and flip the photograph. Looks like a gorgeous seen.

That's beautiful Thom! Love the richness of the colours!

I like the vivid colors, and I assume that it depends a lot on the intensity of the sunlight, but really it does look nice.

These colors are beautiful- really characteristic of a fall nature shot, I think! The reflection is great also.

[Karen bable]

yep it's vivid, but we all love a bit of colour in our lives!

[Nada A.]

Love the reflection.

[Wendy]

Love the colors and reflections!

@danette I have always wanted to post one of those and I looked: this one would totally have worked. Sigh. But thanks for the suggestion and bringing that idea back to the foreground. I'm sure there will be other lake shot possibilities!

Feels very natural to me, even though on a vivid setting. Beautiful shot.

I think this is a beautiful shot. The reflection is fantastic and the colors are so vivid and pretty. Well done!
