Merced Riverside, Autumn

Preston,

I know that spot (see) and I know the look of that film! I miss Astia, with its muddy brown shadows and low contrast. It made it easy to scan and then had the latitude needed for editing.

If this was mine, I would lower the reds in the shadows a bit and then maybe bump the overall contrast just a bit. Here is what I think.

The adjustments are subtle.

The reflection in the water and the subtle blurred leaves on the right really give the sense of calm and quiet.
