Challenge: Free Study 2007-10 (Advanced Editing V)
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0L IS
Location: Linville, North Carolina
Date: Oct 8, 2007
Aperture: f/22
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/3 second
Galleries: Landscape, Water
Date Uploaded: Oct 29, 2007

Western, North Carolina; used a CPF and ND2, sharpened, neat image, more sharpening, crop and resize, auto levels; very early am, tripod, water was dead calm; 24 mm focal length


It was very difficult reading all of the posts on my shot saying that I overaturated this and not be able to respond immediately. These blues are from camera and it was one of the most surreal and beautiful scenes I've ever witnessed. I will post my original in my gallery. Sorry that no one actually felt this could be accomplished in-camera, it was. My friend was with me when I shot this and i said to her "no one will believe these colors if I can get this shot right". Anyway, thanks for your votes.

Blue looks a little oversaturated

Beautiful reflection and good colors. Maybe the reflected sky is to saturated but good work on editing a trees with a sky in the background. Its a tricky thing to do.

Nice color of the sky in the reflection. I think this needs a rotate up on the left, looks tilted. The strongest part of this image is the right hand side in my opinion.

I think you may have overcooked it on the saturation. :-(

that blue is a tad overpowering. slight desat please?

Ouch! Colors feel pretty intense. I am prepared to believe they are real, but they hurt.

Got a little crazy with the saturation here.

The blues are a bit intense. 5

A little less contrast colour and this would be a much better shot.

I swear I've been there! Where was this taken? (in the end, I'm guessing many lakes could look the same, but I had an immediate sense of Dejá Vu when I saw this image)

Wow, this is far too saturated, very nice picture though.

great clarity and focus on a still day
my only crit is the blues in the lake seem over saturated to my eye
