Artsy Beacon

Beacon, NY is an artsy town, and here are the Beacon Hills as seen from the Newburgh side of the Hudson River. If you photograph the hills from this vantage point you have to make it into a pano because the bottom has shops and things; unavoidable. Shoot them from the Newburgh waterfront and you're looking up at the hills. I prefer this. The "unadorned" image wasn't going to work, so I played around with three different Topaz Adjust presets. I think this is the one I like best--HDR Sketch Light.
