November 2024 - Rowing into the Twightlight of Autumn

About the Image(s)
This is an image of someone rowing on a lake soon to be lowered several feet to protect docks from ice.
With this image I attempted to capture the feelings one has when a beautiful Fall season gives way to
Winter. After this last row, the scull was put away for the Winter. To render the final image, I cropped it
to draw more attention to the rower, punched up the red, orange and yellow tones, increased contrast
and reduced noise using Topaz AI. Camera stats: Nikon D750, f/5.6, 380mm, 1/800, ISO=500.

Charles: Right time, right place. you certainly did capture the colors and light of a fading Autumn. The rower is clearly the subject and certainly positioned to draw my eyes into the photo. I find the houses on either side of the image a bit distracting; maybe they should be either darkened or blurred a bit. A beautiful image.

I really like the mood set by the colors and low light. Capturing the rower at that moment really adds to the photo. I really like this one. Posted: 11/21/2024 01:10:23
Hi Charles. I loved the way you bought a really richness and vibrance to the image. Im comfortable with the crop as its a big bold scene. The rower would have disappeared in the dark areas and he adds energy. Great shot and processing. Cheers Brian Posted: 11/21/2024 03:15:49
