Lovely image. Attractive greens and the mist/haze in the distance gives depth. Looks slightly over sharpened for web to me.

May I ask where this was taken?

I really like the composition here and the wonderful atmospherics. The result is a very calm photo, which is excellent. The greens are a bit too saturated for my taste though. If you back down on the saturation, I think you'll have a real winner.

Nice composition. The greens are far too saturated though.

Your image has an embedded AbobeRGB color profile that I believe is producing a green cast. Otherwise, very nice.

Hey Gerald,

Nice work here. I sure like this one. A very peaceful scene with perfect lighting.

As Newhaven brought up, AdobeRGB will cause issues with the colors when viewing shots like these on the web and also when printing. One of your last steps as you prepare your shot for printing and the web should be to "Convert" the profile to sRGB. It's in the Edit menu in Photoshop.

Very nice composition. Like others suggested, a little less green saturation may help.

Very nice! I love the cooling, calming, effect this has on me.

Beautiful shot! I love the atmosphere and depth.

Not that it changes the way I feel about the photo.. only out of curiousity, but was the mist/haze added or was that natural? Looks great either way.

Beautiful image. As others have suggested, sRGB for the web would make it even better.

Although even better would be for people to start using color-managed browsers like Firefox so we can once and for all ditch the, for some shots (perhaps not this one, I will compare in a moment), highly limiting everything on the web has to be sRGB mantra.

Wow, I was surprised. For this image the difference between sRGB and AdobeRGB is huge and EASILY noticeable. Huge chunks of the greens actually clip in sRGB, not the brighter part back but all the darker shaded and foreground leaves completely change color from a lighter yellow green in sRGB to a very deep, rich, deep saturated forest green in AdobeRGB (viewed on a wide gamut monitor only of course). Usually greens are not intense enough in typical shots to differ much between the two gamuts, but in this case they very, very much do so.

The saturation might be pushed just a trace high as going by the AdobeRGB version on a wide gamut monitor, the deep green saturation is pretty strong. Of course it also true that sometimes making things boosted a bit more than as seen by eye is necessary to make up for the full experience which now lacks sound, smell, 3D, etc.

Lovely composition, capture and soft light. You captured a lot without it looking cluttered. With some minor tweaks here and there in PS this will be a real winner. Dave

The depth and water movement is very nice. The tree leaning out across the river is great

I used a Singh Ray 105mm Color Combo Polarizer, Lee filter holder and Zeiss 21mm ZF.2 lens on D800E camera. Exposure was 5" at F/16 and Cropped from the original. This is the jpg file that I PP. When I save for the web it automatically saves it as a sRGB file and pops the extra color. I'm limited in my knowledge using photoshop. The mist is actually from fog rising up from the water. I enhancd the mist a little using Nik Software; trying to capture more of what I saw. It was a hot day and then started to rain on my way to Cades Cove. I saw the mist rising up so I had to stop and try to capture it. I agree the color green needs to be toned down. It is oversaturated seeing it again as I come back to the picture. Thank everyone for your kind comments.
