Fall colours

Ottawa River colours by canoe

Looks good! I´ll be in Ottawa next Monday and Tuesday. Hope to see similar weather then

Gatineau Park, just across the river, is a fabulous place to visit....

I´ll try to get some time off my program. Every time I´ve been there (same time of the year) it´s been windy, raining and all the leaves on the ground. But judging from your images, there´s a lot to be seen.

A walk in the Adirondacks... 70D & 10-22 EF-S

In fact I have a question regarding this pic: I used a polarizing filter, and I think the contrast between the dark water (due to the polarizer) and the sunlit trees on the bottom makes it look unreal. Do you think it is too much polarization-induced effect? Any way to fix it in post?

And in general, what post processing filters/masks/etc would you apply to this picture?

Since you asked...

I think the composition is wonderful -- it invites the eye in a delightfully colorful way. Two things give it the unreal look. First, the unnatural surface of the water looks like the bottom of a frying pan. No real water is that devoid of detail. Second, the distant trees lack resolution and clarity.

The causes I don't know, and as for fixing in post, I don't think anything would help much.

Still nice to look at though.

Thank you very much for the comments.

The water has some detail, if you zoom in, but the ripples are tiny and I believe their visibility is diminished by the polarizing filter "killing" the reflected light. Regarding the trees, I agree. I think I focused on the yellow birch on the right and probably the aperture wasn't small enough to keep the whole landscape in focus. Will do better next time, hopefully!

In Alberta it's tough to find the vibrant reds and blood oranges you find in eastern Canada in any abundance, we are mostly yellows and dull rust colors,but if you make a point of looking for it you'll usually find something
These photos are older

Don't have vast expanses of fiery red maples here, or any expanses really. So...
