House and pond - Irma - Dec 29, 2007

We had a bit of better weather today in the afternoon so I went to hunt a picture. I was missing a lot not to go out to take pictures. Anyway, I went to the lake in Nusse and I passed this house still with a bit of light. I took some pictures there and then went on to the lake. In my way back I t was almost dark and I stopped to take some pictures. I took just this one since my battery was already flat.

I liked it as it was at the beginning but I worked a bit on it to make it shine...

This is the original.





This was my fist try, cloned out the tree in front of the door and gave some light and color to the sky. I didn't clone the tree in dark areas I hope with the hard contrast are not seen.




After I saw my picture I found that the reflection, of course, had the tree in front of the door and the reflection didn't look nice, so I worked with the flood filter to make the reflection. I tried to make not to look too fake, not with the idea to fool anyone but more with the idea of make it look a bit believable. Anyway, here is my try...





Thanks so much for your comments and advice...
