We stayed overnight at a friends place in Glenview, Illinois.  This little pond is directly across the street from their house.   In the morning, the pond was as smooth as glass and the light was just perfect.  I was struck by the symmetry in the reflection and the fall colors in the leaves.

I’m reading a book on the Impressionist Landscape painters and the various techniques they used and thought I’d have a go at creating that type of look for this shot in post-processing.  This was a fun exercise!!

Day 25 of my 365 photo a day project.

Emotion. Mood. Feelings. This is what I capture through my photographs. Whether it is landscapes, architectural elements, still life, or macros - it is a very personal journey as my own fears, triumphs, beliefs, and shortcomings are exposed with each photo. In the end, it is all about telling compelling stories.
