Island on Allen Pond (13)

Rising from Allen Pond is an island of which you can just see one edge here. It is crowned by a gazebo, shielded by the colorful foliage. In a few weeks, it will be suitable as a lookout tower to view the surrounding area.

PP work—sharpening, adjusting midtones and saturation, cropping to a more pleasing proportion.

Its hard to make an acceptable photo but what I did to improve the image is to decrease brightness (-5) increase contrast (+12) and incresing saturation (+15). Croped as well and framed at last.
