This is an HDR made last week at Connery Pond in Lake Placid New York at sunset. Three images tripod mounted, 24-105mm lens at 50mm. ISO 100, f/22, starting at 1/2s then adding -1 1/3 and +1 1/3. The three images were blending in Photomatix then some minor tweaks in PS.
Hi Nick, Beautiful light along with a good job on the HDR. The little cut in the water acts as a leading line with the mist adding to the interest. Agree the image could use some CCW rotation and if it were mine I would take out the clipped tree on the right.
Finally I might tone down the small bright area in the center...not much..just a bit...
