Congratulations on the red.
And thanks for detailing the processing.
Several nights ago, when I had trouble falling asleep, your serene image came to mind... and it helped.

Thanks again !

The trees are called "Sabino"

How far from the original ? you mean how much editing ? Light was extreme, so it was a good candidate for HDR, although I processed a single RAW, the SOOC is way to dark as I picked the one where the highlights were manageable.

LR gave decent results with highlights -100, exposure +1 , shadows +100
gradient filter on the bottom to add clarity and a bit more exposure
gradient on top to add contrast and saturation

wish I had used a speed of 1/125 to freeze the ducks, I think I had a 3 stop ND and ISO 50 , so there was more than enough light to do it ...

The lake is quite pretty to visit when there is no one around, like 6AM :) around lunch time it gets crowded, there are boat rides, food vendors, music, a 180 degree turn from the mood shown here. There is a hotel that looks decent right outside the park.

You made me google this amazing place. How far from the original is this shot? What are these trees?

Thank you for the comments, votes and favorites

Tough competition in this challenge, there are many images I really like, and that people may have gone though considerable effort to make them, I'm quite humbled

This lake has given me two ribbons

Thanks Bear for the clarification , earlier in the day, before dawn, it was denser fog, the sky was not visible, then when the sun came out it was certainly mist.

Very nice indeed. Congrats. And an added bonus with the info from Robert on the difference between fog and mist - I have always thought fog and mist were the same thing.

And now Bear taught you a thing also!

Wonderful light, atmosphere, colors, grouping of trees and, of course, ducks. A magical moment. And a fine argument for cameras.

Very nice, gave ya a 7 for now. But for the record, that's not fog, it's MIST. Mist rises from water like this, it's water droplets suspended in warmer air. Fog is a cloud that is touching the sur
