Fall color is just starting to arrive in NJ, so I grabbed my camera and drove to of my favorite spots - Watchung Lake. It was a beautiful morning with nice soft light, and I tried to keep as much highlight and shadow detail as possible. The resulting SOOC image is flat and could really benefit from your editing expertise (and some TLC) to bring out it's potential.
