Not really that abstract. Blacks were pulled up and are now more gray than black.

I like the use of lighting and color here - it's a very purposeful image.

Thanks for the details. I thought it may be too good to be true, but nevertheless a very good set up.

Thank you Rian! This is well known place for DPC GTG. We used to have a GTG every years or may be two and many known folks were use to join for this :)

About the drop removal Yes I could have but I was not sure if that would have been allowed because that is not a sensor dust but actually something else.

Originally posted by RianBotes: What a lovely setting and exposure handled well/well processed. These kind of shots inspire one to get back in to nature with camera and not simply walk through it. If possible, try and clone out that water droplet that most likely ended up on your lens. Happens to me and hate it when it happens. Congrats with the HM.
