Description

This photo taken at Sylvan lake proved to be very difficult to process. The sun is going down behind that big bank of rain clouds. As a result light and shadow were cast all over. Metering proved very difficult. I wasn't able to process this using a single raw so I ended up doing a 9 raw HDR. The next challenge proved to be the white balance. When I shot this I used auto white balance and the resulting images were very blue. So some white balance conversion was required and a blending of layers using different white balances.

The final result is really close to what was seen with my eyes at the time the photo was taken.

Tell me what you think. Feel free to share!

This is cool. I like the aqua in the sky and the soft blurring in the water. :)
