Treeline over Frozen Pond

[Dave Blinder]

Bee Meadow Park, New Jersey

Sorry, haven't been active on BPN lately. I was out scanning nearby woods for birds and noticed the clouds and lighting were coming together pretty well. 1 minute later, the sun was obscured, and illumination on the trees and house didn't reappear.

Slight crop from bottom and right, levels, boosted reds and greens slightly, minor amount of sharpening.

How's the processing and comp?

Thanks!

This is a very peaceful image. I really like how, if your eyes start in the clouds, they are led right to the houses on the pond by the line of clouds. Nice.

I like this one. As Mike said, the lines indicated by the clouds and the treeline converge nicely on the houses.

Just as a personal preference, I would open the shadow details on the trees a bit and reduce the green/cyan levels in the blue of the sky.

Hi Dave,Nice light along with an interesting sky. Dave's repost enhanced the image by making the colors more natural. I also like the convergence of the elements ending on the houses...

[Nick Palmieri]

The composition is real nice. I like the re-post with the shadow details more visible.

Thanks Mike, Dave, and Nick. And thanks for that great re-post David.
