 Outside of New Orleans. It's been a little dry.

Tone mapped from a single RAW image. I took a series of shots for the HDR, but I didn't have a tripod and they were misaligned something awful.

I like the way the shot came out, although I feel like the sky is a little muddy...

Thanks for all of the votes. For the record, I had no clue what Topaz was before that comment this challenge.

With the recent popularity of Topaz, I'd have to guess this is utilizing that tool. I think there's way too much texture and sharpness added to the ground, and it probably killed what was originally a pretty good shot.

Interesting shot. Barren looking with character.

Interesting scene. Seems somewhat harshly processed IMO.
