Winter in Kaarina

Hi!

I would like to share some more of my photography in Finland.
I am playing around with my new 10-20 nikkor lens, and loving it so far.
This is a HDR, although people might not consider it needed, I thought it gave a lovely effect to the picture. For me HDR still needs to be natural .

Lovely scene and great rendering; I really like the fact that there is distinct detail in your snow. I might consider bumping the foreground a half stop so as it seems a bit dark to me.

Thanks!
The 10-20 gives great sharpness, hence the detail in the snow.
It is a bit dark, but it should have a bit 'morning' feeling to it. the Picture is not taken in the early morning, but in Finland it didn't get that bright during the day when I took the picture. Also the sun is behind the trees and the scenery is in the shade, I actually made it more bright in lightroom and personally I didn't like the effect it gave, I wanted to keep it real like how I saw it at that moment .

Beautiful scene and photograph! In my opinion, I'd make another copy and clone out the sign or marker, even though it's a permanent part of that location. The scene is full of natural beauty and then there's a sign.

Nice image - I agree with fishing4sanity about the marker.

Thanks and good tip, Didn't pay attention to it.
but I messed it up myself, I replaced the .dng file to another location and refreshed lightroom afterwards. now when I open the .dng pic, all my editing is undone, so need to kind of restart (my bad xD). I tried to remove it from the jpg, seems to work fine, but I lost quality, I always seem to have that, working between lightroom and photoshop.
