Description
Fall colors of the maple trees reflect on Lake Susan in Montreat NC, just outside of Black Mountain. It was late afternoon and the sun was low. The maple trees reflected their brilliant colors in the soft water of Lake Susan. I walked around the small lake shooting pictures of the leaves, the colors, the reflections, it was so gorgeous! With the sun directly ahead of me I decided to try to shoot the distant maple tree branches with the sun peeking through them to try to get a nice flare and this is the resulting image. I used a shallow depth of field and a telephoto lens to blur the lake into softer colors. Fall just doesn't get much prettier than this.
