La Belle Province II, a photo from Quebec, Central

Photographer's Note

"La Belle Province" of Québec always offers us scenic views just by the roads. Traveling one week by motorhome, we enjoyed blessed lakes like this one, where we had unforgetable family picnics. On the left corner, you´ll see my 4yo son playing with his friend. We just have to take a couple of minutes to have some nice photos around Québec. Here is somewhere just a few kilometers south from Tadoussac.

I´ve decided to repost this picture because it was one of my first posts and I didn´t a good work on the post processing. After some very good experience here in TE, I learn a little bit else to apply to the images and preserve the nature´s beauty. The clouds are more natural and the contrast is a little bit increased, enhancing the reflections. I added a black frame, as I have been used to my posts. Hope you like this. I love Canada!
Regards,
Zeca

Hi Jose
A world of difference between the two.
At first,I thought that you came back in Quebec, but look at the date.
Good idea to work it again, as this vision is more realist.A fiesta of colors.This year again,I went back in Charlevoix and the colors were astounding as usual.I thought about you at the time and how you will have like to be here.
Right now, we just received a foot of snow last monday, very early for this time of year.
A lovely composition
Have a good day
Charles

Hello Jose,
Nice fall picture.You were lucky to be in our province just on time to capture such a picture.In that region the colors are at their maximum fifteen days earlier.Nice reflection on water.

Olá Zeca,
Boa idéia esta de reapresentar esta imagem, que está com uma composição primorosa. Os ajustes que você fez agora a tornaram mais bonita ainda e, como você disse, até mais realista. Os dois pequerruchos à esquerda e os reflexos na água, esse espetáculo de cores, tudo está uma beleza!
Parabéns!
Estamos atolados de neve atualmente ;-)
Abraço,
MC

Hello Jose.
A great improvement! That is one of the great things about TE; you can learn from others just by looking at their photos.
This is a wonderful crystal clear autumn scene with glorious colours and light. You preserved the clouds very well. I love the tiny figures in pink/red, and the silhouetted plants in the bottom left corner. Very nice indeed.
Regards,
Andrew

Olá Zeca,
foi bem longe nessa foto hein, fico impressionado com a mudança climática e da vegetação no Canadá, em questão de meses muda tudo, repare depois as fotos da Maria do Carmo (docarmo). Boas cores e reflexos aqui.
Parabéns e Abraço!

Olá Zeca,
É realmente uma vista de sonho, com uma luminosidade e umas cores fabulosas, que se juntam à sua compo para resultar numa foto magnífica. Gosto do toque de vida dado pelo vermelho das crianças.
Um abraço, José.

Hello Jose,
Late autumn is still evident in this great composition. The colors of the trees and sky are quite attractive. Best regards, Danilo

Hello José,

This is a first class fall scene from two years ago, Autumn in Québec. The colors and composition are flawless. I'm happy to see that you decided to repost the photo.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hello Zeca,
Delicate autumn colours in the foliage!
A pleasant composition to enjoy this fine landscape, I also notice the two guys in red enjoying the fine October weather...
A classic well working composition, nicely balanced!

Olá Zeca!
Uma excelente foto de Outono. As árvores têm uns bonitos tons dourados e o céu ficou bonito com aquelas nuvens. Os reflexos estão perfeitos e gosto também de ver aquelas duas pessoas de vermelho, contrastam bem com as árvores. Acho que está melhor que a original, sim!

pboehringer (770) 2007-12-13 18:34

Notavel equilibrio de cores, luz e sombras. A composicao esta perfeitamente trabalhada e o que faz a imagem transcender sao aquelas duas criancas com os casacos vermelhos (!) correndo por debaixo das arvores douradas.
Voce nao realmente nao brinca durante o jogo, velho!
Abraco, Peter

Ola Jose,
I knew from the thumbnail that would not be Brazil ! Nice capture of the canadian fall colors in full glow and also here in good contrast against the background, which makes them shine even more.
Have a nice day,
Jean-yves

Hello Jose,
The tropical master has taken his photographic skills into the colder Canadian regions and captured a real beauty! The clouds, the beautiful trees, the people in red jackets in the distance, and the composition are fabulous. I am also getting much better at processing my photos for posting, especially my 35mm transparencies. Beautiful landscape! :) tommorrow

Olà Zeca
I've clicked on a link of your last post and discovered this beautiful picture! The luminosity combined with the overcast sky worked well for this landscape which has lovely colors and water texture well rendered.
Abraço
Marilyn

Hellas (7123) 2008-10-11 23:54

Hi Zeca,
your picture affects me for its beautiful colours and the frame. All the elements are arranged in the image for the most pleasing result. The clarity and the DoF are fine as well as the light management. The photograph was made with care in the process, too.

Thank you very much for sharing.
Greetings from Greece,
Athanasios.

denisn72 (8314) 2008-10-13 5:48

Hello Jose
I like the distribution of light in the picture because it creates an excellent contrats between the mountain on the right and the vivid lit yellow trees on the left. I like the point of view and colours very well.
The atmosphere is awesome! Well done Jose!
Best regards
Denis!
