That's lovely in both color and composition.

Welcome!

Thank you Jonathon.

Details are Nikkor 210mm, Fuji Velvia 50. Lighting on the river was very unusual with low angle specular 90 degree where the sun popped through the clouds for about 3-4 minutes. Focusing on moving water only without immediate reference to a rock or other static subject can be an interesting challenge.

Late Fall, Lake Jindabyne

Gelatin-silver photograph on Ultrafine Silver Eagle VC FB photographic paper, image size 21.3cm X 16.4cm, from a Fomapan 400 4x5 negative exposed in a Tachihara 45GF double extension field view camera fitted with a Schneider Super Angulon 75mm f5.6 lens and a #25 red filter.

It is an unusual thing in Australia to see fallen Autumn leaves. The continent has no native deciduous plants, save a single relic in Tasmania, in order to mark the change of seasons. The shores of Lake Jindabyne are planted with imported poplars and their leaf colours and fall are a sublime thing.

I am reminded of the words of the American woodsman and philosopher Henri David Thoreau:
"It is pleasant to walk over the beds of these fresh, crisp, and rustling leaves. How beautifully they go to their graves, how gently lay themselves down and turn to mold!--painted of a thousand hues, and fit to make the beds of us living. How many flutterings before they rest quietly in their graves! They that soared so loftily, how contentedly they return to dust. again, and are laid low, resigned to lie and decay at the foot of a tree, and afford nourishment to new generations of their kind, as well as to flutter on high! They teach us how to die. One wonders if the time will ever come when men, with their boasted faith in immortality, will lie down as graceful and as ripe..."

This is a magnificent photo, but (and this is not meant as a criticism, just my personal viewing experience): my eye wanders. There's no clear path for me to take in the photo, to move from foreground or highlight into a deeper perusal of tonalities. Perhaps it's just me.

Took 3 shots, R,G & B filters, to do a color recombination. 'B' got stuck in developing, this is 'R'.

Something in the tonal transitions here I really like....
