Leavenworth, Washington

Just west of the small Bavarian town of Leavenworth, Washington is this pond formed by the Tumwater Dam on the Wenatchee River. Aside from the haze and pond scum, I found the fall colors quite striking. The only tweaking that was done were a few minor adjustment in the raw stage and a few enhancements with the Luminar Flex plugin. I suppose I could have cropped out the haze, but that would have damaged the overall view, in my opinion. If you go there, do so on a week day. The area on a weekend is a madhouse with people. Much like ants on an anthill. Comments are welcome. Ken

Very nice. You nailed the fall colors. Leavenworth is a fun place, but like you say, avoid it on a weekend or a holiday. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice shot. We really like to visit Leavenworth, especially in the Fall. If you can create a layer in PP, you could dehaze that upper left corner without affecting anything else. I agree that cropping it out would weaken the composition.

You're right! I'll give that a try. Thank you!

Wonderful COLOR shot. Have you been there during the Christmas season? Another great time for COLOR images!

I was there many decades ago; long before I had an interest in photography. I remember the lighting of the tree and town was spectacular
