For the LOVE of COLOR...Post Yours

Indeed, very wonderful image, Peter. Puts me in mind of the old masters. (just don't ask me which masters…been a long time since fine arts electives.) :)

Thanks Ken. Its appreciated. A lot of effort goes into my post processing to adjust colors and tones to get just the effect you refer to. My aim is to have colors that are relatively bright where needed as accents but in other respects a little subdued. Together with shadow and light tones that are not too harsh this produces images that are sharp but have a softness about them. I recently published two articles on Steve Huff's site encouraging photographers to develop their own style using my images as an examples of my particular style. They will soon be republished on Peta Pixel too and I am planning a third part on how to optimize images in post processing for good artistic effect.

Dirk, I really like your photo, also. I like water and I like reflections, and you nailed both, nicely set off by the lone leaf at the bottom.
