Description Geode State Park along the lake, taken right at sunset. Missed actually getting the sun going down by about 3 minutes, but I am very happy with what I did capture

Located in Southeast Iowa

Very beautiful colors, and the composition is great! But I can see the halos over the trees, so I guess you "polished" it a bit in PS?

Thank you! And the halos are from me not being careful while adding some brightness to the trees

Stunning colors, I love how vibrant the trees are. The reflection of the trees in the water is beautiful.

It's a very good capture but I think you greatly oversaturated the colors. It looks too artificial.

cthacker In reply to Calibre-Not-Output [2009-12-14 00:59:45 +0000 UTC]

Thank you, and I did add some saturation, and due to my calibration set for printing it may look oversaturated on your end, but the end print job is just right lol

This is marvelous. I'm surprised to see colors down there given the recent freeze! I biked through there on RAGBRAI, amazing park. Keep an eye out for my NE Iowa / SW Wisconsin pictures!

The colours strike you first, then you see the subtle clouds of sunset.
And of course anything with a lake in it is good.

Thank you! The trees have just really started to turn down here, it had been raining all day and was cold but the sun came out an hour before sunset.
