Challenge: June Free Study (Advanced Editing II)
Camera: Sony DSC-F828
Location: Lake Hefner, Oklahoma
Date: Jun 21, 2004
Aperture: 8.0
ISO: 64
Shutter: 1/500
Date Uploaded: Jun 27, 2004

Taken at lake hefner, in Oklahoma city. I usually hate this lake because it is INCREADIBLY urban, but I feel like this one came together pretty well. I did a lot of processing to make the sunset darker and more moody while keeping the green in the leaves.

WOW, What detail and colors. It is almost surreal. This is a 10 and I don't give out 10's very often. I hope you win. What kind of camera did you use. Email me if you get a chance after contest.

I really like the colors. Everything seems to stand out. Only thing I seen wrong was
blue smuge up in the right hand corner.

very nice scene, good framing by the leaves, but what a strange colors. And you should have removed the spot top right.

How surreal!

This is an excellent contradiction to the one third rule. Sky and lake equally beautiful. I love the back lit leaves at center top and the colors are awesome. The fill lighting really helps as well. Good luck on this.

whats with the blue smudge at the top right, and in the middle of the clouds?

Good idea, but the over-processed. The colors are just too weird and that one blue leaf in the upper right corner is very distracting. Also over-sharpened (see the halo around the leaves in the middle?)

People will complain that it is over saturated, and it is. But it works! 8

There's something photoshop about this image. Looks unreal, not surreal but unreal. I think it's been doctored too much. Otherwise, if it were a bit more natural looking (instead of looking like shiny plastic), it would be a surreal image.

Really nice natural framing to this shot
well done

the sun's reflexion on the water looks ever so slightly burnt out

And we have ourselves a... winner!! Seriously, if there was no word stronger than "perfect" because of a lack of need, I really think we have a situation here. Congratulation for (I hope) a blue ribbon. In my opinion, maybe the best photo ever on DPC. (10)
