This picture was taken from the air on a fairly calm day. It's not very common that I can capture reflections in the lakes surrounding the mountains... so I have to make do with the pictures I have. (=^_^=) I ended up having to manipulate this picture more than I normally do to get it to look the way I envisioned it. I actually manipulated the colors in the picture in two ways. One to give the mountains and trees a little more pop and one on a duplicate file focusing on the sky. I then bravely decided to photoshop the two together... For my first attempt it's not... baaaad. Just... I think the colors of the upper elevations don't quite fit now. What do you think?
The Original:
First round: I played with the color a bit.
Second round: I added the blue sky from another copy of the picture. Doesn't look like I have that file anymore... *Sad*
Third round: Darkened the colors some more and straightened the picture.
Final: I tried to darken the colors even more and brighten the snow. The snow was over exposed to begin with so it still looks flat... Not sure what I could do to fix it now, but I tried to make the sky looks a little less "dropped-in-from-another-file."
