Congratulations on the red.
And thanks for detailing the processing.
Several nights ago, when I had trouble falling asleep, your serene image came to mind... and it helped. |

Thanks again !
The trees are called "Sabino"
How far from the original ? you mean how much editing ? Light was extreme, so it was a good candidate for HDR, although I processed a single RAW, the SOOC is way to dark as I picked the one where the highlights were manageable.
LR gave decent results with highlights -100, exposure +1 , shadows +100
gradient filter on the bottom to add clarity and a bit more exposure
gradient on top to add contrast and saturation
wish I had used a speed of 1/125 to freeze the ducks, I think I had a 3 stop ND and ISO 50 , so there was more than enough light to do it ...
The lake is quite pretty to visit when there is no one around, like 6AM :) around lunch time it gets crowded, there are boat rides, food vendors, music, a 180 degree turn from the mood shown here. There is a hotel that looks decent right outside the park.

You made me google this amazing place. How far from the original is this shot? What are these trees? |

Thank you for the comments, votes and favorites
Tough competition in this challenge, there are many images I really like, and that people may have gone though considerable effort to make them, I'm quite humbled
This lake has given me two ribbons
Thanks Bear for the clarification , earlier in the day, before dawn, it was denser fog, the sky was not visible, then when the sun came out it was certainly mist. |

Very nice indeed. Congrats. And an added bonus with the info from Robert on the difference between fog and mist - I have always thought fog and mist were the same thing. |

Wonderful light, atmosphere, colors, grouping of trees and, of course, ducks. A magical moment. And a fine argument for cameras. |

Very nice, gave ya a 7 for now. But for the record, that's not fog, it's MIST. Mist rises from water like this, it's water droplets suspended in warmer air. Fog is a cloud that is touching the sur |
