The story behind the image

Last Sunday we made a tiny excursion into the Bavarian Alps. The weather was awesome and much welcome after a longer period of cloudy and cold days. Our destination was the Sylvenstein Basin near Lenggries. While you could do long hikes down there, we decided to step out a couple of times and explore the area by several shorter walks.

While we were right below the Faller Klamm bridge, a red kayak crossed the basin. The trees in the back showed a beautiful spectrum of autumn colors, and the kayak provided a nice contrast in the dark green water.

For this photo I used the Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L II USM on my M6 Mark II body to overcome the limitations of the kit lens. The result is truly awesome.
