Shooting Info:	Focal Length - 81mm (162mm, 35mm equivalent)
Shutter Speed:	1/2 sec.
Aperture:	f11
Exposure Compensation:	-.2
White Balance:	5300K
Saturation:	CS2
ISO:	100
Technical information:	Manual Focus, Anti Shake 4 secs. Color Space - Adobe RGB Raw
Editing Info:	Within Photoshop, contrast was slightly increased using the Curves tool, saturation was increased so the web jpeg matched the Adobe RGB workspace and the image was resized and sharpened.
Subject information:	This was taken at one of my favorite locations, a local beaver pond. It has changed a bit as of late since the beaver dam broke during the last rain storm. The pond level dropped about 3 feet and all that water came rushing down the mountain creating one heck of a flood in our area. Our back yard sustained some damage though fortunately, the water only came to within 5 feet of our home.

Beautiful colors and nice composition. But I reckon it could do with a bit more contrast.

The colours are, thankfully, not over saturated (they don't need to be) but I particularly like that the image is more than just fall colours - nice composition

Well composed. The juxtaposition of colours is very pleasing.

I probably should have mentioned in the subject info that this image was taken in very flat light. It was overcast with fog and a slight mist. So don't worry fellow E-1 users. The lack of saturation and contrast isn't a flaw of the almighty E-1 or my bastardization of its functions, just my presentation and interpretation of what I saw in the moment.

"...just my presentation and interpretation of what I saw in the moment"... and you did well! As others, I like the composition, and the gentle fall colors work very well to convey the atmosphere of the moment.
