Hey Matt,

This is very cool. Your effort paid off.

PS. What are loppers?

---------------------------------------------
Hi Jim, medium sized prunning shears. Normally I practice " Leave No Trace ", but in this case, there may have been two small branches that needed prunning to help future growth space

All the fall color photographers that go to the Blue Ridge, Vermont, New Hampshire, this is what you are passing by.

Climbed a tree eh? Brilliant! (Hide the loppers, park service and all)

---------------------------------------------
Mike, you know the normal view at this point. That entire lower tree line needs to be cut back several feet. The view is getting so obstructed for visitors.

Keep 'em in mind for creating original POV's which others haven't captured

And, as good as drones get, they can't do long exposures.

Those colors would look great printed in aRGB or Prophoto. Nice water movement too.

lovely view. I can imagine comments about colors however they can be intense in certain parts of the world.

I was just there and yes it is almost impossible to get a reasonable shot. unfortunately your method required as you said "needed some loppers" and such. I just opted to enjoy the view.

as to the colors, though enhanced, I was there after peak and my eyeballs were still getting blown out by natures kaleidoscope up there

Thats a super image, the intensity and drama in the foreground balances with the brilliance of the fall colours in th BG.

Very cool.

I'd tame the orange a bit just so you get some proper green to compare it to for a little more variation. Not that I don't like the take on it that screams FALL!!!!!!!!!!!

Super nice shot Matt! Well worth your efforts I'd say. Kudos for going "above" and "beyond" to get the shot. Puns intended.

Actually I printed it out just last night on my epson, ( on three stocks, Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta, Moab Entrada Rag Bright 300, and on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308 all using Prophoto color space at 2880dpi ) It absolutely sings. Posting images on the forum is fun, but whats really rewarding is holding the fine art print in your hands, IMO.

Minor "lopping" did occur. Also some tree sap, scuffs, slivers, and some post subway abdominal discomfort.
The colors in the UP are eye popping indeed!

Take nothing but memories, leave nothing but footprints! I think the loppers were going to far.

This area is quite popular, actually very popular. A regimented schedule of trail, park, and river grooming occurs are on regular basis. Another issue which is occurring is that the "classic view" of the falls now has tree tops obscuring the lower half of the entire fall view. I do expect the park service to trim the tree tops of a dozen tree's or more to unobscured the popular trail view. Do know that I practice a proactive and conscious effort for the better of natural places. ( i.e. removing Carduus nutans - musk thistle from the Utah trails I've encountered it, where it's invasive.) Removing Garlic Mustard weed in Wisconsin natural areas where it's a real issue ). Avoiding delicate lichen, moss, and other sensitive vegetation which I've witnessed so many photographers trample unneeded.
