A Beautiful Fall Day in The Country

[CNelson]

The other day I had the opportunity to photograph a beautiful location in Siskiyou County (northern California). The scenery, fall colors and weather were all working together and I felt doubly blessed just to be there and with a camera. I'll share just a few so you can get a feel for the place:

Very nice indeed.

The only problem I see is the blue of the skies bleeding into the trees in those images where there is a saturated blue sky (with the exception of the first picture).

I am not sure how to select the edges in these shots but I think since the trees on the hill have a fairly monotone green color, using color range would be a good option. The other option is to take it easy on saturating the sky.

Thank you Alis. I agree with your comments. I think the problem was a combination of the way I processed the HDR versions and using a polaroid filter that creates a variation in sky saturation at certain angles.
