Here blue skies are mirrored in the water, along with the first fallen leaves:
Here I used the watercolor application in photoshop to give the same photo the look of a watercolor painting:
This a quieter part of the creek where fall leaves and branches float in the water:
And then here's the watercolor version:
If you'd like to participate in the Two Weeks in Autumn Photo Challenge--and I hope you do--it's simple. Just grab your camera and take a photo of your interpretation of the day's subject. Post on your blog and then leave me a comment so I can visit you and include your link on the player's list below. Also, since some of the photo subjects may take a bit of planning thought I'd give you a few of them ahead of time.
September 29, Day 7 Subject - "Harvest Moon"
September 30, Day 8 Subject - "Fall Fun"
October 1, Day 9 Subject - "Early Fall Landscapes"
October 2, Day 10 Subject - "Nature Closeups"
October 3, Day 11 Subject - "Autumn Sunlight"

Nice reflection shots Faye...I like the edits you did...PS is fun to play with!
Pretty! I love the first watercolor application but the second, I think, was too dark. I liked the photograph much better on that one because of the light.
We have a pond behind the engineering school that has been dry for so long it's growing trees. Finally a little bit of rain, but not enough to top the grasses and baby trees in there.
I haven't started playing with photoshop. I took a class several years ago and came away impressed but doubtful of my skills.
My post was supposed to go off automatically this morning and it hadn't. but is u now. (First time I've set one to go on scheduled time and it didn't)
janis-photoshop is a lot of fun, but I need to be careful and not get carried away with all the bells and whistles. Sometimes--often, in fact--less is more. :-)
sayre-editing photos is somewhat of a crap shoot. I too liked the first edit better. The one thing that I liked about the second was that it reminded me of the painter Andrew Wyeth's colors--I have several of his works and they're all rather dark monotones.
pamela-I use the "timed release" for posts so can write them when I'm in the mood. Last night I almost had your same problem. Had this post timed for 5 PM instead of AM!
Fallen leaves give character to little streams and ponds.
WATER
Water in a drop of rain,
Water swirling down the drain;
Water clinging to the trees,
Water filling up the seas;
Water frozen, water free,
Water is the stuff for me!
