Cabin

Playing with Lightroom for the first time. Also the original is an HDR using Photomatix.

My Step-brother's cabin in Mansfield, NY

this is great, print it and post it on the wall

Thank you i think light room is my new friend

The perfect reflection in the lake is more than enough of a picture itself. The rest is just over the top. Great shot. Must have been a very sunny day at ISO 100. Any chance of seeing the original?

Your wish is my command

Here is the regular exposure

Excellent capture. Absolutely great colors and the reflection is still amazing.

I think the processing is just a little over the top even for my tastes, but that's purely subjective. I would however crop it in just a little more...trim a little off the left side and the top to move the cabin into the upper left third and get your horizon out of the middle of the frame.

Peace,
Jim

Very Wizard of Oz feel to it! I actually prefered the original size.gave the feeling of wide open spaces.

Glad you got all that sensor dust out

Nothing a little cloning cant fix!

Quick question to add on, what do you guys think about the chair by the pond? Distracting or Nice touch?

I like the chair.its a subtle object that doesn't scream for attention, so having it there or not doesn't affect the photo to me.

Just my take on the crop...I think this follows the rule of thirds a little more effectively. I also backed down the saturation just a bit so it's not quite so garish...
