Ready for winter

I was invited to take photos of a big rocket launch by a space startup company in the Mojave Desert in California. I took the opportunity to travel that region. On Sunday I drove up north on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Near Bishop is a small Alpine lake called North Lake. The trees already lost the leaves at this time of the year, so fall colors. There was no wind, so the lake was very calm, perfect for a reflection shot.

 

I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and added an infrared false-color filter. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
