This is my main job for a photo school on the theme of "Reflection."
Here I am almost pleased with the result. It seems that the idea of reflection is well conveyed, there is a traditional composition. It seems to be no oversaturation.
Why almost? In the process of processing I always strive for a strong contrast, high sharpness. And when I watch other people's work, sometimes I envy such a soft, warm photo. I do not know how, but I want to learn.
Below, as last time there are several options.
Source
Camera jpeg. I lost the sky several times when shooting, after which, taking landscapes with a wide dynamic range, I sometimes adjust the exposure down to -0.7 EV. So I get a more successfully exposed sky and darkness in the shadows. But shooting in RAW allows you to draw out the shadows. What is sometimes impossible to do with the overexposed sky ...
Processed image
The original, where the processing was close to the natural picture. It seems not bad, but again, the presence of green confused me. I wanted a golden autumn.
Improved
Having played with plug-ins in Color Efex Pro, I tried to give the picture golden autumn tones.
And here I will again be interested to know your opinion.
Nikon D5000 + Sigma AF 17-50
I strongly recommend to open the photo in a separate tab to appreciate it.
