Had a week in the rain in the lakes, got a few shots which i will share with you over the weeks.
In line with the current debate 3 exposures, taken 3 times for 3 different focus points, two hikers and an over bright stone cloned out, processed in LR4, CS6 and Photmatix, John I am sorry and reflections too hope you like any way
As ever all C&C warmly welcomed

Nice looking image Phil.
If it had been me I'd have framed a little further right with the end tree on the frame centreline and perhaps with the skyline a little lower in the frame.
Really curious at to why you are using Photomatix if you've got LR4 and CS6/ACR 7.2 - HDR plugins are so last year

Yes a bit more sky would enhance an already smart image Phil

I know how to use photomatix so will use it forever!!!! funny i cropped in a little to reduce the sky as i felt it was featureless and needed to go, I agree about the tree comp though. I was going to have another go but the wind blew the reflections away and the sky stopped threatening and started to rain so i went for lunch

Oh Phillip ............ you and me need to have words
Fully compliant PV2012, which you have with LR4/CS6/ACR 7.2, makes HDR plugins obsolete, gives a 100% natural look every time, is a far easier process, gives you twice the exposure latitude and twice the bit depth. Exporting to Photomatix means you are not extracting as much image quality as it's now possible to do.

I will look at it cheers, just when i thought I have things sorted
Haha LR4 is the way to go.... its adaptive, I have got to agree with Mr A...
Image critique, I really am not a landscaper but I am left feeling that I want to see a lot more of the surroundings, its a great scene but all seems to end in the centre, I hope that makes a bit of sense...
