Patchwork Sky Over Country Pond

Finally got a chance to give my polarizing filter a tryout.

This is a pond near my cottage. I've been looking at this for a long time and knew there was a good shot there; the weather finally cooperated.

I have to agree with Lightchaser. I do like the scenery but the colors are a bit too oversaturated. I am a fan of HDR images. I am not being negative. I just think the natural beauty of the scenery would be best suited with less vibrance. Do you do every photo min High Dynamic Range and what program do you use?

Capers66 - thanks very much always nice to be appreciated.

Lightchaser - Sorry to hear you "hate to be negative". The only enhancements in this shot are both mentioned, a polarizing filter and HDR. I don't know about you but I don't have the time or the knowledge to be adding clouds with Photoshop. So to clarify, there is nothing fake about this shot - enhanced yes but not fake.

Cheers

I hate to be negative, but to me it looks like you added clouds in photoshop in a pattern and ruined what could be a good picture. It doesn't look real like landscape photography should be. Sorry not a fan of fake landscapes.

Everyday I look forward to seeing if anyone has left me any comments on my gallery. The next thing I look forward to is seeing what you're posting today. Great photography man!
