Digital Matt, as I stated earlier in this thread I really felt like lightening the trees took away from the focus on the reflection and the wonderful way the blueness of the lighted features stand out. Just didn't look as sharp IMO. Others liked it better that way. Personal preferences I suppose. I think there are many who are so hung up on having every part of the scene properly exposed. It may be more professional and proper, but I like the freedom of bringing more attention to the parts of the scene I feel stand out. The forest was not that attractive in that particular area....and brightening it up made the timeline for the scene seem disproportionate to me.
