 Second Entry with my D200, and I used my new SB600. Set a 30 sec exposure and fired it with the test button during the exposure, I am sure there is a better way to do it. Converted from raw, Hue/saturation and selective color, masked out the effect on the tree. burned the grass in the front since I had the flash set to 14 mm and flash was too broad. Flattened, NI USM, Resize for the web.

this is good. You said you "test" fired it. I am not an absolute expert, but I believe the rear curtain fire would have worked as well. I think....
