The Sun Setting in the Forest

I found this area by the lake that just looked like it was a magical mystical place so my processing reflected what I felt...

I love these "autumn" type colors. I think #2 is the winner here, I really like how you captured the sun hitting off the rocks, but still kept a lot of detail.

Thanks, it was so nice up at the mt.

I liked #3 and #4 the most.

I would like 3, but the sun flares kill it for me. I know that can be subjective, but in this case, I would like the picture a lot better without them.

I really really dig "Mystical greens". I like all of them, but it is my favorite out of this batch.

Your HDR work is always a treat for me. And being raised in Tucson, I really like your subjects too!

Its nice. If I HAD to be picky, I would say the sky is a little off for some reason. I dont know if it is the white...not halo...but highlights around the trees or just the sky doesnt fit the picture...to me anyway.

8 out of 10. Nice control on the greens, you did not over-do them at all.

the sky sucked no clouds

I hate to take pictures of pure sky but what can you do right? The glow filter I used I bumped the highlights to give the sky more of a glow to make it more interesting around the trees.

Thanks.
