Dave, I've looked at this a dozen times trying to see it with and without the full reflection. Can't decide. Sometimes a full reflection looks great but not always. Depending on the comp, framing, water, and lighting, a full reflection can destroy an image. If it weren't for the turtle, the image might be better without the reflection, but the turtle totally makes the reflection work. It's just that one has to look carefully to see it.
Nice as always Dave!
I love the pictures of those giant swamp rats
Where were these pictures taken? I hope they're near LA where you are, but they're probably not.
Edit: Nevermind, I see that Dave in La is not Los Angeles LA, but Louisiana
Dang I was hoping to find some awesome secret spot
Great pics
I missed making a lot of thank you's here......and I do thank everyone for the input.
Tom, I very slightly steepened both A and B channels the same amount....just a little.
And later did conservative sharpening, but not via Lightness channel.
