Very tranquil Darryl, I would like to see it with a little more yellow/red saturation, did you use a tripod? Are the original images in JPEG or raw?

Thanks,

Max

Yes with tripod, see the signature for which type.

I agree with Ozi

Darken slightly and up the orangy redish glow subtly and you've got a terrific shot...well it's already a terrific shot, it is stunning actually and I like that you really went for it.

All of that being said, if it was my shot and it was shot in Raw I would convert to Black and White, adding a touch of yellow, then frame it and hang it (but that tends to take me a few months).

Terrific, very ambient, very tranquil... Deservers to be printed and framed...

One question, are there soft halo's either side of the poles on the left? Dunno if they're really there or it's just me after a long day in front of the screen here at work...

Very nice shot though, very frame worthy...

Cheers,
Mudder

Mudder, there does seem to be on the left pole. I'll have to check on the original shot. Might have over done it on the USM. I considered converting it to B&W but didn't have any of the iNovaFX actions loaded. Will have to copy them over tonight.

Darryl. Great shot. I really like it as it is. Shots like this have extra appeal for me since there's NO WAY I'd be out of bed that early
