Autumn!!! What a glorious time of year for photography!! This peaceful little scene was shot in Louisville, KY's Cherokee Park near my residence. One of my favorite spots for contemplation... and photos. It's now the first week of November and most of the foliage is gone and the color is fading. But thanks to all of your postings on TrekLens, fall will always live on. Hope you like this one, too. Thanks for viewing. Just a bit of saturation and enhanced coloring. The swan was a real bonus! No lens filters.

Hello,phantastic shot with the swan an extra bonus.Great colors and texture.Regards Otto.

Unbelievable, Joe! Now THAT is fall color.
Wonderfully saturated, great light and contrast, really nice sharpness and detail and your swan is in a perfect spot. we haven't reached peak colors yet, but it's coming. Just hope we have a nice day to catch them when they do. Many thanks for such a grand Fall shot and warmest wishes,
Shelly

Hi M.Joe,
The extreme saturation gives a fairy look at this photo! Perhaps the swan will change into a prince or princess :))
Excellent composition with superb reflections!
Glorious Autumn time indeed! Bravo! Annie

Hi Joe!

I've been waiting. This is lovely! The colors and reflections are great. Love the swan. One of the most memorable moments on the lake, I was anchored in a cove when a swan came flying over me. It was beautiful.

An excellent capture, Joe!
Wonderful autumn colors and a very nice lighting.
Beautiful reflections and composition.
This swan is the finishing touch.....

TFS and greetings from Netherlands,

Hi Joe,
The colors are really amazing such as are the reflections on the still water which makes its surface seem like painted glass. And then the swan...brings serenity to this peaceful atmosphere.

Hello Joe, a lovely scene and the swan swimming into view is the 'icing on the cake'!
Beautiful colours and lovely smooth reflection.
Tfs, regards Jean.

wonderul colors and a great texture
good pov
it's perfect autumn day

Hi Joe,

The colors and reflections are gorgeous, and the swan is a nice added bonus. Your framing is good to avoid the sky, which might compete with the colors of the plant life. Looks like a nice place to spend some time and reflect on life. TFS

Best regards,
Werner
