Day 225 - Lac du Jaunay

A shot of Lac du Jaunay, taken just after sunset. Exposed this to the right and had to process it a bit in LR to get the cart and tree out of the shadows - this is actually someone's garden and I was standing in the road to get this! So no tripod or anything clever here - handheld and hoped the camera could cope with it, which it did pretty well (much better than the 7D).

Even got the moon!
Such an idyllic picture! This is brilliant, I love the gently snaking river in the background. And I am very jealous of the person whose garden this is. :)

This is beautiful. I am not a big fan of HDR, but the processing works here. FAV.

@sjoblues Thanks Shannon, and for the fav. It wasn't actually HDR'ed, I gave it a bit of exposure compensation to make the shot a bit brighter (and lost a bit of detail in the sky, actually), and then had to bring the shadows out quite strongly in Lightroom. The low light gave it that almost dreamy look.
I've tried HDR before but never very successfully - that's why I tried this route.
