Branch on the Water, October 13, 2019

A quiet evening down at the reservoir. I got the tripod way down toward the water, trying to avoid too much mud, to get this branch in the foreground. Otherwise, there wasn't too much on this part of the shore to work with. The fall colors were muted this year, but I got a few from the trees on the far shore to help me out. Plenty of color contrast from the blue sky to balance the warm tones on the shore. The silhouette and reflection of the branch creates the most interest for me, with some negative space to go with the reflection.
