And for this one it was the rising sun and what you can do with it.

And just for a whale of a good time!

So, the basics.

The Rules:
1. Lr Rule 5 - Enjoy

2. The Usual stuff:

All work must be done in either ACR or LR except for cropping, sharpening and using your noise filter. You can make some MINOR changes in PSE/CS3 if you want. If you use a preset, please list the name and a link to the source if you have that information. Also, if you'd like, please describe your workflow. [Or not, but fess up and tell us what you did.]

Sunny,

Like the tree treatment - gotta try the Blue Luminance for getting red of the blue cast in the snow.

Also, nice crop, got me thinking about whether or not it should also be straightened.

Good stuff!

Thanks, John. I did straighten it, but it looks as if it's still a little off. I have this thing about water lines being straight, although I know that many just ignore it for artistic value.
