I'm not sure if this is HDR/Topaz...I'm going with HDR...if the colors weren't so odd I'd give this a much better score...as I really like how the lighting is done on this subject...but the colors make is sooooo surreal IMO

Beautiful scene. Great job with pulling in some details from the shadow areas while not having blown out highlights. What really makes this scene fore me is the mixture of lilly pads with the reflections of the clouds.

Comment by CNovack:
The colors and the hue really project the mood of mystery and magic. Love how you composed the shot to include the radiating path that encircles the wishing well. The way it is lit, the vibrant hue, and the shape/lines invokes the idea that great magical energy is radiating out from the wishing well. I do have one critique: the drawback of catching the wishing well at this point of composition is that the top half of the well gets lost in the trees and houses that are in the backdrop. I think the contrast and visibility would have been far better had you walked a little to your left so that the top portion of the well would be more visible rising out of the inverted 'v' shape where the house roofs meet.

Great photo. I love these vivid colors! Some suggestions:
Maybe a bit over processed (but only a little)
The bright spot on the house seems out of place, consider evening that out

This is only my attempt at a critic, you have done extremely well! Congrats in advanced.
