Mary Rizor Preserve WC

Michigan Nature Association has purchased some areas of select habitat and high species diversity and the Mary Rizor preserve is no exception.  This is a Winter scene taken early this morning of a downed tree with ice in the feeder creek for Lake Shannon.  Luckily all the snow melted leaving some rim ice along snags so I hope this is a suitable winter image sans snow! I used 5 exposures at f16 and ISO 160 to capture most of the dynamic range from 10 seconds to 2 seconds.  I adjusted curves and used several luminosity masks to brighten the lights and increase midtone contrast.  I finished this image with a boost in overall contrast and a slight tweak up in brightness. Thank you for looking and I appreciate your critiques...............................Jim
