Shot at the Champlain golf course today. I wanted to make it look like a night shot so I did some curves them major burning and some dodging in greyscale. Then added a slight blue cast.

A very strong image with the trees framing the sun. The detail satisfies the eyes and the subdued reflection adds charm and tenderness. An image that evokes the peaceful nature of the soul.
Strange: but I look at it more as a cloudy day near sunset than I do as night picture. I love this image.
The adjustments you made do give the shot a night time feel. The eye keeps trying to straighten the trees against the horizon but I think the larger trees in the background on the left correct for that for the most part. The light source seems too bright for the moon but one's mind automatically makes allowances for that because of the overall night time effect. Still, it's a little bit distracting in the sky (the way the light falls on the snow both background and foreground is lovely).
i really like what you have done here. i do have a question for you. how did you give it the bluish tint? i have been wanting to do that with some of my photos. i was wondering if you would share your steps with me on how you did shuch a fantastic shot. it is perfect. it should have won.
Beautiful shot, I would want this one on my wall (and there arent many shots that I would want on my wall). Great angle, great subjects and the sky is just amazing on top of everything else. Perfect shot, my only 10 this week (up to now at least)
Gorgeous! This is one to put on the wall and admire. I'd never get tired of looking at that! Dramatic lighting and composition of the light, the "gesture" of the trees, the texture of the clouds. 10
Entered quite a long comment on this one but for some reason it did not save. Anyway it was the only one I gave 10 to. Everything about this has worked. Even the fact that some people would grumble about the burned out sun. In this case I believe it has totally worked. It must surely win. For some reason I am also unable to add to favourites with this one. Could you email me so I can keep an eye on your work and see older work.
Thanks
Great silhouettes. Nice exposure and a very ghostly kind of mood. Not sure if this is a National Geographic type image, but it is a nice image nonetheless 7
This picture is really interesting. The more I look at it, the more I see in it. It portrays different emotions, to me, from top to bottom. Really dramatic feel. Good stuff!!
Incredible winter scene. Love the glistening of the snow. It just sparkles. Contrast is really good and helps to separate the snow, trees, and the breathless sky. Absolutely beautiful.
This is a stunning photo. I really like this. I would definitely hang this on my wall. I hope you offer this at DPCPrints after the challenge. Great shot!!! I think this will do very well. Good luck!!!
