Mount Hood and Then Some by taffy

Mount Hood and Then Some

For the ETSOOI Reflection challenge, I decided to make the best out of all my attempts tonight to create a particular image (it isn't this one, BTW). I had a quick trip to pick up some photo props to take with me this summer, one of which was a mirror. I spent a lot of time trying to get an elegant image involving the mirror, a sunset, and a small aperitif glass that I thought would reflect light. This was toward the end, using an image I'd taken when I was in Portland last February, my laptop, a mirror, and some tiles to make the mirror a little higher off the keyboard. I cropped the image and did some correction of the tilt, then imported it into Color Efex Pro, then applied a range of filters in various orders until I got the image I was okay with. Not the best photo day, but oh well...And, for those unfamiliar with the area, it really is pretty and not at all over the top like this.
Fantastic editing.. fav
