I've put 16 images from last weekend's trip to northern Wisconsin in this folder. A critique of the images would be appreciated.

Fall is the best time for forest pictures.
Your images remind me the southern part of my country, forests and lakes.

Nice pictures all of them, but (IMHO) the one with flare is the best one.
Without it, the picture will be nothing special.

Thanks for sharing it.

Thank you, Ernesto.

I added two shots I missed last night.

Anyone else?

Enjoyed viewing these again today. Liked Stump, View of Bay, Flare and John and Ann so much. The lighting is so good and the colors are so perfect. What film were you using? Good results are so satisfying, thanks for sharing.

Fuji Reala. I rate it at box speed and just love how it handles color.

William,

You have some nice photos put together in this folder. The colors appear on my monitor slightly muted even though you used Realaand the subject matter is Fall. I would increase contrast a little with PS and next time use a polarizer. My other suggestion is to "get close" when it comes to fall colors. What our brain sees as wonderful cannot be transferred to film as well.

Well done.

They are mostly not processed - the scans are from Walgreens and only one had it's contrast adjusted (the water blew it out a bit). I do have a polarizer for the 50/1.4 S.S.C. on the T-90 but that doesn't help with the 'cron & Canon 28/3.5 on the CL. I'll have to see what I can do, but to me they don't look that far off. Of course, my monitor is an ancient POS...

Thank you for the comments. I appreciate all the help I can get :)

Hey William,
I left coments on several of the photos. Good fall color is hard to resist, isn't it? :)
