The Tree on the Lake by taffy

The Tree on the Lake

Taken from Williams Bay at Geneva Lake in Wisconsin as we drove between site visits to find a place for a leadership meeting in April. It was a really gray day as the shot in my main album shows - http://365project.org/taffy/365/2013-11-21. This was an HDR from three photos that looked quite normal before I got carried away with Topaz Adjust editing program. I know it's over processed, but for some reason I like it (please don't judge my overall taste based on this!).
Great light.

I like the editing too, makes it look like a very light polluted night shot!
November 22nd, 2013  
Wow - awesome!
November 22nd, 2013  
oh i love everything about it - what do you mean judge taste ------every image has the potential to be treated in a different way - this is really cool
November 22nd, 2013  
Magnificent processing! I appreciate and respect your unique aesthetic
treatment.
November 22nd, 2013  
I think it's pretty cool, too, Taffy - the color is fun!
November 22nd, 2013  
The processing makes it look kind of surreal-especially the sky and water color. I like it.

Beautiful processing. The mustard tone is lovely.
November 22nd, 2013  
Very powerful and dramatic. Awesome.

Taffy, you are really on a roll. Each of your shots that I have looked at are fantastic! I haven't tried HDR as of yet. This shot is great. I really like the colors. FAV!

Superb processing, have been trying to use multiple photos and just haven't been able to make them look realistic, always end up with a fringe so end up scrapping, I will just have to keep practicing. Well done!
November 22nd, 2013  
Another great shot you are such a whizz at processing! I love your HDR shots as they never look over processed to me as a lot of HDR stuff does! I like the tones - it does look like light pollution. Fav!
November 22nd, 2013  
Oo, the edit is wonderful. Such interesting tones, it´s like a view from some sciense fiction or really polluted world, eather way it intrigues me!
November 22nd, 2013  
I think it is a gorgeous picture....every single one of them needs to be viewed and treated differently, and you have really created a mood in this one!

@eyesmile @bill_fe @thirdjoe @pamknowler Thanks SO much for the fav. I really wasn't secure about my own judgment re this processing so your view, comment, and fav meant a lot. And you helped move it to PP, I know. Very much appreciated.

Kind of spooky can beautiful way, I have watched too many science fiction films and this lake looks like something some alien would crawl out of!!
November 24th, 2013  
It's interesting with coloring this way. Nice work on the processing!

The over-processing here works as a piece of pop art!
