This is the Pequest River where it's only a creek. It's a boat landing where I take the dogs every day. The light is Bear Music's "raking light" near sunset. The specks are birds. I didn't have the heart to erase the birds.

I spent a lot of time on this eyecandy. I made a soft version with topaz detail, which I blended in various ways. I lightened parts, I desaturated the foreground, I only sharpened the background, etc etc

The birds add a really nice reality to this scene which can tend to be left behind in perfected shots of landscapes. I like them there.

My first 10 so far, and I have my suspicion to who this is. Maybe the sky could be more blue and/or darker, but this has the feel of someone that knows what he/she is doing. So 10 from me

Very familiar scene, setup and processing. Looks much like Bear's imaging. Lovely serene take
