Secret Autumn paradise

Secret Autumn paradise ... that's how I decided titled this photo, a small secret paradise to most of the population of Sintra.
This small waterfall, located less than 30 meters from a main road that gives access to Pêro Pinheiro is unknown before the majority of the population of Sintra, this cascade with about 7-9 meters high is simply fantastic, with a different topography then the usual creating several routes during the fall of the water.
Upon reaching the surface creates a "lake" with some depth and submerged rocks create swirls of water combined with the foam and a long exposure creates a fabulous effect in the photo.
Unfortunately before coming to this place we find some dirt due to accumulated debris by a wood house that is located next door.
now lets talking about more technical things!
to carry out this picture, I used about 30 seconds exposure to obtain a fluid drag in the water drop and an eddy effect late in the foam, in post production changed green - yellow colors for more red - orange color of autumn, reduce some highlights of the photograph, to be able to have some orange colour from the clouds due to sunset and created a faded effect creating an dreamy image.
I hope you enjoy
Best regards,
André Farinha
