Challenge: Best of 2006 (Advanced Editing V*)
Collection: Challenges
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di for Canon
Location: Cannon Beach, Oregon
Date: Sep 8, 2006
Aperture: f/16
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/125
Galleries: Landscape, High Dynamic Range (HDR)
Date Uploaded: Jan 6, 2007

Tone mapped from a single RAW exposure, exported to PS7

Many variations made. Lost track of how this one was done. It includes the use of a gothic glow layer and sharpening on top of that, for the crisp glow effect.

I have a little love affair with this image. It's probably just me; I don't expect an especially high finish for it because it doesn't have that "wow!" subject that is needed in Best-of-Year challenges.

hi Robert - i was a little taken aback when i realize this was your "Best of 2006" submission. i guess you have your reasons, but i'm sure you have much more powerful images in your collection besides this submission. not saying this photo is bad, but it just isn't your usual quality - if you get what i mean.

I had this pegged for someone else's picture. Of course now I see your hand written all over it!

this is nice enough, but it doesn't really grab me. not really sure if i'm sold on the post-processing. the hues just seem a bit unnatural.

Great image. Personally I'd crop the road/path off the bottom.

Nice soft and glowing light - pastel colors. I like how the tree leans to the upper corner, a less drastic angle than the hill behind but mirroring it slightly. The road in the foreground anchors the image - I wonder how it would look if you rotated the image slightly counter clockwise so the road was perfectly horizontal in the frame?
