One for the fun challenge.

I used topaz adjust 5 to get this result.

Thank you for commenting.

After reading Doug's comment I realized he was right so took the link off, and changed the title a little bit. I had one of those moments I guess. :)

Nice work Sandi. Nice composition of the scene and contrasts in the photo. I like the reflections in the image.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.

It's not from the image you linked, Sandi. Entirely different sky and water.
However, the full screen image sure is better than the page post image, and quite a beautiful and moody work.

Moody sky, but quiet serene water... This looks great in B&W, Sandi!

Where is the creature from the black lagoon? Reminded me of a scene from an old horror movie - very mysterious!

Hallelujah. Praise Allah, Jesus, Almighty Zeus and forbidden idols. After many years I finally see a flaw in your image. I feel like a giddy teenager. I'm as corny as Kansas in August, high as kite on the 4th of July. The world looks sunny and happy today, and I have a spring in my step. That nagging knee injury has gone away and my mind is clear since I hit my head with that sledge hammer.

In a few places, there is a white line surrounding the area where some of the trees hit the skyline. This happens to me when I oversharpen a shot. You are not perfect. I feel like I can breath for the first time.

Love,

Roger and/or Dorothy

P.S. I love everyone today.

Looks like the land of them big cats and what a lovely looking landscape and it does like quite good in B&W. Plus when you enlarge this photo it looks even better with beautiful dramatic sky snd lovely light playing across the lake.

It does have an ominous and moody look to it which works quite well with the comp and reflections - very good conversion.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
