Autumn Blues

Up here in Tromsø, Norway we have about five days of autumn without any rain.
I did not think I was going to get any shots this autumn because It was raining almost constantly, and when it wasn't raining I was at work.
But I got lucky one day when I had the late shift.
I just grabbed my camera and started biking as fast as I could.
When I got there, this was the sight that met me

I did some selective dodging and burning, a few saturation adjustments to the red and yellow colors, put the contrast to about +20 and did some vignetting in PS CS3.
Sharpened for web.

This piece really is beautiful and provides the viewer with a real sense of the emotion of the area. There is a peaceful atmosphere which you can really FEEL to look at the shot. The still waters and the soft cloud are brilliantly captured. The choice of location was spot on. The surrounding trees also reflect safety and protection which flows with the calming waters. The colours are perfectly vivid, the depth of the blues are gorgeous and compliment the browns, oranges and mild greens on the forestry around. This all contrasts to the upcoming cloud in the distance which is much more violent and chaotic. Overall, the photograph is expertly shot and well treated.
