I am pretty much disappointed with this week’s photographs, I have one of my wife that I thought was a great shot and was very tempted to put as the photo for this week’s Deck entry, but she would never forgive me if I did, so I had to settle for this one.
I intentionally took multiple exposures most of this week because I intended to do some more HDR attempts, but this one didn’t come out as expected. For some reason my alignment was all wrong and there’s quite a bit of haloing as a result. I did intend a BW HDR, so this I used as much to my advantage as possible.
I did the HDR merging in Nik HDR Efex Pro, and also added a vignette to it there. The final touches were added in Lightroom using a BW POP preset I got from Eric Kim, who does really great Street Photography, I hope he doesn’t mind that I used it for something other that Street Photography 🙂
I rather liked the lone tree and it’s reflection, so that’s why this was my choice this week.

very moody – like it a lot.
Thanks Sheila, the sky was very overcast so it lent to the mood 🙂
I think it great. as usual, What does it look like in color?
Thanks, not too bad in colour actually 🙂
I like this shot! Things sometimes are happy accidents, and you appear to have managed to pull one of these out of the bag.
Thanks Chris, I would never print this one too large, but as a smaller image it works nicely! thanks for the visit and comment!
That is a really nice scene. Although you got a great shot I think there is unexplored potential. We just have to strap on the long boots and get wading 🙂
Thanks. Long boots? we’d need complete body suits for that area 🙂
It’s a beautiful photograph. Love the reflection:) but I’ve got to agree with you, the portrait of Maureen would have made an even better Choice:)
Thanks, I was very very very tempted to use that portrait anyway 🙂
Wow! That’s impressive!
Thanks Nigel, it was a great scene, I think I have to process a separate image to get what I really wanted, the overall is nice, but the details are not good on this one. 🙂
Hi Michael, I like it. Kinda reminds me of one I had at the framers today and he framed it upside down!
Cheers mate.
Hi David, thanks for stopping by, I know what you mean about the framers, my friend Nikhil had one that was all-reflection, and someone turned it upside down to look at it 🙂
