Very well done Eric, the color leaps out at us, the composition is lovely and it certainly has the wow factor.

OMgoodness...I am just magically drawn into this image...it is positively dreamy and enchanting. Such perfect colours and reflections, I feel I could be on a small boat just drifting down the river without a care in the world...thank you:-) My 'shot of the day' for sure:-)

@Linerberry: Thank you so much, Liners! It would have been a great morning for some leisurely canoeing or kayaking...

Great Shot! Where in River Grove is this?

@Barry: It's from the bridge going to the soccer fields, looking out towards the river.

lovely exotic hues! i feel like i am on another planet -- maybe Saturn's moon Titan (once it is thawed and a stable atmosphere is set up)... wonderful glows of light and color -- beautifully done!

@dj.tigersprout: Thanks, Jay! One thing I like (and sometimes dislike) about HDR treatment, the colors can become so surreal, and contrast edges get a bit of a halo. It's still the only way I've found to get detail in all the areas of a very highly contrasted scene, though.

It's good to connect with you and Kylie on FaceBook.
