Marty- I would love to be sitting on that dock right now with my fishing poles, taking in all the goegeous colors of fall, the beauty of the reflective colors on the water and enjoying a fried bolona sandwich. You have given us such a splendid view of this place, one that we would all love to be able to go to at any time.
Thank you so much for all the encouragement you gave me on my last picture. To say I was grateful would be an understatement. Thank you so much my friend.
Have a great day, take care, God Bless. #8988764

Rich color and beautiful reflection. Yes, it looks like October. #8989713

That's a perfectly gentle use of the filter I think, Marty. Perfect and gentle both. It produced a happy kind of dreaminess that would be hard to get otherwise. I am fascinated by the combination of deeper colors in the reflections and lighter, softer ones in the "reality." #8991373

JO ANN CLEVELAND October 23, 2010

Totally gorgeous Marty!

Like a wonderful autumn dream...that I seem to be having nightly anymore, missing the NE as I do this time of the year. The soft touch of frac gives your treeline such a soft dreamy ethereal look..but the boldly colored reflections announce Fall in all it's glory..I love the contrast between the two! Excellently thought out, Marty and beautifully produced! #8994748

Randy D. Dinkins level-classic October 25, 2010

Great shot of this old dock, fall colors and treatment! #8995647
