This is what I came up with after manipulating the original (below). (not that this is a great photo but it is much better).
the original
Nikon D3100 with Tokina 28-70mm f3.5, (I like to use a Vivitar .43x aux on the 28-70mm Tokina), Nikkor 10.5 mm fisheye, Quanteray 70-300mm f4.5, ProOptic 500 mm f6.3 mirror lens. http://donschaefferphoto.blogspot.com/

Hey well done! Cleaned it up quite a lot and the distracting middle bit is reduced!

That's a very classy picci. Perfect WB, excellent colours, also very true and accurate.
Well done, Ruf-Ruf :|

Don,
The sky is a total fake, the reflections in the water are enhanced, the left side has had some water debris removed, and also some cable. The entire picture is tinted with red at the bottom, pale yellow in the middle and blue/green at the top. The sharpness is enhanced, (as always), and before all that, it was levelled and smoothed.

Look at the smilie I left for you at the time - deadpan.
I didn't suss everything you'd done but I had suspected the sky had been faked because I'd never seen a blue telegraph wire and blue aerial ... until then.
Nice one though

Nice work Don, but I'm torn between the lighter, dirtier original vs. the cleaned, darkened touch up. In any event, both convey the dark, cold winter...brrrrrr.....Now I remember why I moved to Florida!
Ruf,
Excellent! Just a quick question, how much time did you spend in post processing and what did you use to clean it up?
