Challenge: Reflections Without Mirrors IV (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM for Canon
Location: Simpson County Legion Lake, Mississippi
Date: Feb 10, 2008
Aperture: 8
ISO: 100
Shutter: 58 Seconds
Galleries: Landscape, Nature
Date Uploaded: Feb 10, 2008

 I shot this on my tripod in bulb mode, but I had forgotten my cable release so I held the button down for 58 seconds. Most of the shots had too much blur even with a good tripod because of that, but this one turned out OK. I'm not sure how well it will go over since it is kinda normal, but I liked the colors and composition.

This is one exposure that I heavily dodged and burned. I also added some blur in the water and boosted the saturation on the sky and water. Sharpened the boat house seperately.

I loved this one already as a thumbnail. The glow and the colors are fantastic. Congratulations ... I'd be willing to bet this does very well, and it should!

For the creamy acrylic paint effect, the subtle light, and the simplistic composition, you get my top vote. 9.
