......accentuated with a touch of HDR! ...all the elements were there to work on - the sun on the hills and the dramatic sky! How I would love to stand on top of that hill - next time I visit Ullswater I will make a point of climbing a hill - the lake is surrounded by the most beautiful landscape - what other invitation do you need. :)

Another wonderful picture Patti. I didn't know you had enhanced it until after I looked at it for a bit and read what you said.

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY
Gosh, Lady...you're going to fill up my new external hard drive..that's okay though...you keep right on churning these beauties out. :)

"The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place; from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web." Pablo Picasso
Wow!! Talk about dramatic!! I love the vivid colors, those trees look like they're ready to slide right into the lake. =)

I love the dramatic lighting! You must've filled your memory card with all the lovely shots you took at this lake! :)

To linger in the observation of things other than the self implies a profound conviction of their worth.

Very artistic manipulation. You've added depth and texture to an already idyllic scene. Very Clever.

Fantastic post production. I love post production as long as it is unique and artistic, and more than just adjusting a couple sliders. This fits the bill perfectly!

Patti, although I don't like HDR, I have to say now that in this image it worked real well, because your beautiful image stayed 'natural'. Well done! Regards, Cornelius

The question is not what you look at, but what you see ~ Marcel Proust
No invitation needed, I'm on my way.. (wish, yeah!) The sun breaks with the dark angry clouds are a terrific contradiction. Lots of depth.
Well done, Patti

A very beautiful scene. Looks like a good place for a picnic and to lay back and watch those beautiful clouds float by.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

You have the perfect touch...its just enough to really bring out the shadows and make the sky pop. Its just so dramatic, but doesn't lose its sense of reality. Nicely done...faved!!

Sorry to all...I haven't been commenting as much as I would like to lately. I'm a 9 to 5er again (actually more like 8:15 to 7:30 these days!!) Don't worry, I still see all of your wonderful posts, if only for a second.
This image has so much going for it I don't know where to start, Patti! The shadows on the clouds, the shadows of the clouds on the hillside, the lighting of the hillside, the greens and golds, the beautiful trees - should I stop or keep on going? Spectacular -

So many pics and so little time can mean just one thing - it must be - tee time
Again the clouds are overdone in HDR, that is my main reason not to use it.
It shows so clearly that it is edited. But, have a look on the slope of the hill, that light is awesome, just like a dream, so i do forgive you for using HDR again ! :-)
You could try to enhance colors in any photo editor, and you will absolutly get the same result, but then without the overdone sky, who knows ? just give it a go Patti, you might like it. For as it is, if you do not know the limitations of HDR, it is still a great shot, that is true !

If you have some minutes why don't you come visiting my gallery ?
Really spectacular. It's amazing what you are able to do with such a simple scene. It's all about the lighting/exposure, and of course the HDR really enhances what is already there.

Great Work! The clouds look ominous, yet the scene is so serene.

Well done my friend, this is drama and classy at it's best! The slight touch of HDR makes it even more powerful.

Can you hear it whisper, can you hear it murmur? Are you ready to explore nature? Come on! It is thriving with colors and painted with light...
Fantasic landscape!
But the Splash of HDR is too much for my liking.
I know from experience that when you work with HDR it is hard and difficult not to exaggerate. Therefore I always create two layers in a photo editor: one layer with the unaltered original and the other layer containing the HDR image. Then I use the transparancy slider to mix the two images and find an improved but acceptable image final. Maybe a tip for your next project?

If you can't find the words, you may as well shoot it...
Why haven't I commented on this before?! Love it. I think the HDR is just right, but it's a matter of personal taste. I just love the way your trees are so 3d and bright and the tapestry of fields and sunlight on the side of the mountain.

Please bear with me if I don't comment as much as I have been - I'm having to scale back. Only until they introduce the 30 hour day of course ;-)
a beautiful shot, the hills do look golden.
