 One of many landscape shots I took this past weekend. Had this been advanced I would have been tempted to do some dodging but I kinda like it this way as this was pretty much the way I saw it at the time.

Post Challenge
Thanks to the folks who thought this should have scored higher. I kinda agree but also realize that while there is detail in the shadows, some would see this scene as somewhat dark and underexposed.

All things considered I would say that I handled the exposure pretty well in that I do have detail in the shadows without blowing out the highlights.

Aside from that? I am just happy some people saw the serenity in the scene which is what I remember for that evening.

This photo is really beautiful! I just love the colors and reflections. I'm surprised that this didn't finish much higher.

Very pretty, just a whisper of detail on the canoes and foreground grass. Nicely done!
