You sure have a skill to capture this type of shot and make it beautiful. Another great example of keeping yours eyes open and taking advantage of the light.
wow neil this is so beautiful .. i can almost imagine a fairy or some creature from imagination hiding behind that stump .. and your original is stunning too .. excellent lighting & great in that large white border .. this would most definitely make a fantastic print .. :)
I like the vignetting. It gives a real depth to the water in the foreground. The wide frame is excellent, drawing the eye into the centre of the image.
I like this. There is a lot of detail, but very simple given the isolation of the stump. Was that done by the sun or did you add a vignette?
Thx. The light is natural. No vignette has been added. Very little editing--convert from RAW and fix a couple of hot spots.
EDIT: Oops, when I went to check this, I was looking at the wrong file in LR (I was looking at the PSD file in LR). The RAW file did have the vignette slider set. Here it is with all LR sliders reset except for exposure.
