Shot this HDR comp at a campsite in Ouachita State Park shortly after sunrise. Created the HDR in photoshop. Tonemapped with photomatix. Then back to photoshop for saturation manipulation, sharpening, dodgenburn. Really just wanted to highlight the fall colors and subdue most everything else.

Thanks all for your helpful and kind words! I am totally getting hooked on this. It is a blast to see all of your work and to share some of mine as well!
Very nicely done. One of the more distinct and unusual entries.
I'm not sure about it being so tightly cropped, I think I would like to see a little more of the water. I love the processing you have done here, I hope you have described it in your notes!
Though perhaps not a traditional approach in landscape photography, tilting the frame has moments where it adds greatly to the scene, adding interest to the composition. In this shot, though, I'm not too sure I see what it adds. Having the long parallel lines of the trees and then tilting them adds a rather unharmonious air to things... contradicting the tranquility.
