This one is in my gallery and I decided to rework it with the Dynamic-Photo HDR program and used just 1 image to see what kind of enhancement I could get without going overboard. Used the photofiltre also for the final result.

Of course I would like to know what your thoughts are pro / con and any help to make a better image is always appreciated.

The colors are more dramatic and I like the vignetting. Both of your posts are very beautiful but this one has a more dramatic feel to it. Very nice work Sandi!

It's certainly made the colours more "punchy" and it seems to have move the haze from the sky. I like it very much. The frame suits as well.

This one really has a nice glow to it Tigz. I like the vignetting and the smoothness of the water and the mirror images. Both are great.

Hi All, if you see my initials on you latest upload you will know that I have had a good look at your photo, but at the moment, I'm getting over 200 friends a day, and I just cant keep up with you all, sorry, but I will look, but at times I wont be able to make many comments....No trees were killed in the sending of this message.

I like this manipulation, a colorful and dramatic picture. Here you have done a good job Sandi. But in my humble opinion, is a picture derks from the camera a better choice.But on the other hand, I have not made as much with photography, as you. I am just a beginner, and when I begin to master it, I might also begin to experiment.

Looking at this for the first time I thought you had used the mirror effect on this one. But I was wrong.

Those waters are mighty still .. well done Sandi
