Round Valley Reservoir, Lebanon, NJ
Dec 2009
This trail on top of a dam divides the reservoir into 2 sections. Taken in later afternoon.
I found processing the sky especially challenging because of mixed lighting. I used the recovery slider to remove some of the whites from the sky. Processed in Photomatix, 3 exposures from a single RAW, finalized in photoshop. I increased saturation overall, but decreased cyans to make the sky less "electric".
All comments and critiques appreciated.
