Comment from Sange
The colors are beautiful.
Your use of light and your POV are fantastic. It appears to me that you used the Guassian Blur tool to achieve the softness and the glow. You notes day None but there has to be editing done to achieve this look by using Photoshop.
It's a lovely capture with a dreamy softness and Autumn glow. The soft Reflections in the water remind me of Bob Rossi paintings.
Nice work Len...;)

Thank you very much Sange. Actually gaussian blur would have just blurred the image (not good). I used the Orton effect (as in my notes) in Photoshop on this image which leaves things sharply in focus ... but not. It diffuses rather than blurs is the only way I can describe it.
-
My understanding is the Gaussian tool is used to create the Orton Effect.
Orton is just the one who discovered the process. Every tutorial I watched they use the Gaussian tool. So if there is another way to do this I like to know.
;)

There are many ways to do the Orton effect. You dre correct the basis is generally the gaussian blur ... but after that, I saw 5 different versions today alone.
Comment from Malmax
This is so soft and magical.
It's glow and beauty is really eye catching and surreal.
I am drawn into the scene with its visual and subtle colors but also love the mystical appearance of this image.
Unique and so beautiful!
Best wishes in the contest!

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
This is a magic shot as it looks like a dream land with all these soft tine and fine branches - your lighting has a really powerful impact as the contrast and lighting creates this surreal ambiance
clear and sharp in detail, well framed
your shot is taken from a wonderful view point - you found the perfect distance and the result is excellent
a well composed picture with a great visual initial impression , well seen, well done

Thank you Regina. The distance was in fact about perfect, any closer and ... I'd have been in the lake

Loll, you are very welcome - excellent shot
Comment from Kurt Fondriest
This is beautiful, the colors are harmonious in balance and in reflection. There is a softness that is inspired of the impressionistic movement. The lighting adds a gracefulness to the entire piece. Thank you for sharing

Comment from Nature Rick
Very Beautiful Autumn Landscape Photograph with a very nice soft glowing scene, did you apply an Orton Effect to the image? Natural colors and tones in the scene. Good lighting, nice detail, sharp focus, good DoF, and well balanced photo and nicely composed in the frame. Overall, a very Beautiful Autumn Photograph, well done Len!

Thank you so much Nature. There is an Orton effect on this one, something I use from time to time when I remember it. I find it works well on trees
-
You're Very Welcome! I sometimes use the Orton Effect on autumn images.
Comment from Envision
The light in this image is very attractive and accentuates the colors of the trees nicely. I like the painterly reflection of color on the water and the elegant softness to the scene.

The landscape is indeed extraordinary. The colors are beautiful and the light is incredible. Light and colors appear realistic. The photo is flawlessly composed and focused. The contradiction of light and dark is intriguing. The landscape is perfectly composed, balanced and framed.
