Late Evening Reflections on The Stourhead Estate, Wiltshire, England
Notes
Taking advantage of all the very latest in Software available. Three RAW Frames converted and fully processed in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5, Tone Mapped with the latest version of Photomatix Pro Vs. 4.2.7 and converted with Nik's Silver Efex Pro 2, as an additional Plug-In to LR5. Software just goes on getting better and better. I had to buy a new PC with 16 GB's RAM to handle the data quickly.
It is very nicely composed and the tonal depth is very good. The existence of accessible tools to render the vision is a very gratifying development for all photographers. You have taken very good advantage of the new tools.
Steve, even by your very high standards, this one shines. Awesome is the word that comes to mind. The amount of care and dedication you bring to shooting and post-processing really pays off! Though, if I look at the water's edge through the arches, I get a feeling that it might lean very slightly to the left. Optical illusion?
