• I wanted these bushes with bright red berries as the foreground, but if I moved forward I would have sunk in the mud and been two feet lower

Halfway Lake

Cloudless skies aren't usually a photographer's friend - unless the forest is exploding with fall colour. A real Thanksgiving Day treat!

    Very nice, Brook. I agree regarding the sky. When you have bright foliage a sky with too much texture just competes.

    My Grandfather painted something like this on his wall. I always liked looking at it when I was a kid...long ago. Wonderful pic Brook!!!

    You are right ... a clear sky is the best for the autumn colours IMHO. You got the best day for this great shot.
