Shutter: 1/15
Date Uploaded: Apr 13, 2007

Golden hour occured just after a spring rainstorm and the sky and the sky was so dramatic! I spot metered the brightest portion of the sky so as to silhouette the trees and bring out the reflections and sky, hand held, Canon 10-22 at 22 mm. PSE 4.0, boost of contrast and saturation, cloned out a seam in the driveway, cropped out a small portion on the left of the frame, used neat image 'filter and sharpen', then lastly selectively chose the sky and despeckled any last bit of noise, resized for web

i like how the sky reflects off the sidewalk/ road - great colors and composition =back for a bump to 9

Very pretty colors - that strip of green grass seems quite unnatural, but the more I look at it, the more I like it!

I am thinking that the more powerful picture would have been in cropping the lower 3 /4 of the photo and elliminate the upper sky...removing any trace of blue and it would have been dynamic!

Ooh lah lah.. i like the colors in this. and i like how the foreground is underexposed, bringing all of the attention to the sky and reflection.
