Sunrise on Frosted Tree
This is an image I posted earlier. I have removed the jet contrails that were distracting to many viewers. The image was made January 15 about 9-miles north of Baker City, OR. Nikon D2xs, Nikon 17-35mm lens w/polarizing filter. ISO 100, f/11 @ .3 seconds exposure. Adjustments made in Photoshop CS3.

That light is divine.

very nice shot. What adjustments did you make in CS3?

Thanks all for the comments. Tim, the major change was to clone out two distracting jet contrails from the original. That turned into a major chore, matching the sky above and below the contrails. I hope I pulled it off. Other than that, the changes were minor, contrast, color balance, saturation, sharpening and the like.
