The Thinking Spot

A shot from the lake during the day. The shore is spotted with these little benches, perfect for reading a book or watching the fish flop. This one is quite out of the way, and I tried to capture the feel of the place in the photo.

nicely exposed...

i wouldn't mind doing some thinking there....

you still on vacation??

its a great little lake - my husband has been up there camping for the past 25 days working at an oil lease (he did have one half day off in there ).
so we've been back and forth lots. we just got home today, and before we left, my daughter and i were sitting at one of these benches and a bald eagle flew right over top of us, maybe 10 feet above our heads... one of those moments when youre kicking yourself for not having your cam in hand...

Very good composition and an excellent location. It is underexposed but that can be easily fixed with the smart photo fix option in your PaintShop Pro program.

BTW, I think you forgot about following up re a certain noise problem in an owl photo.

I don't think it's underexposed... I think it's a good compromise between the sky and the foreground. The time spent dismantling this image for selective exposure would not provide much in the way of benefit IMO.

Look closer at the photo, Travis. The slightly dead colours in the foreground indicate underexposure. "Dismantling the image" for selective exposure is NOT necessary either. There are several one step approaches.
