[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another shot from the lake, at night. This time I did NOT process in IR to the shot, but I processed in Tungsten and then colorized blue. I did some histogram on it. The slight glow in the sky off to the right is the city of North Little Rock. It's about 15 miles away, but you can see the glow of the city from where we were.
I see there is lots of insanity and people deleting their accounts over the TOS of this site and also of Facebook also. I urge you to check this out TOTALLY before you just up and delete yourself off these sites. Impulsive actions could destroy YEARS of work. I can tell you there isn't a SINGLE shot on this site that is worthy of stock photo companies. They prefer large files. These are all too small for selling. I know our images on this site get stolen everyday. Soon there will be ways to stop it. I urge you to exercise caution.
Have a great day!
Linda

Hi Linda:)
So now we have two pictures to compare... hard to choose, but eventually I decided:):):) - this one!!!
Why? - because I can see better visual values to entire landscape, sky is better with that hill on the right but major attribute - water!! - invisible look like and then with so nice reflections, mirroring trees.
Very nice night time picture, I really like it:)
Take care my friend - Tom:)

Hi Linda,

Lovely effect here, really quite eerie, but very effective, love the detail in the sky and the hill.

I am still trying to get over the trauma of bumping into Brian today, hope we get some good shots on the weekend shoot.

Douglas

Your blue dreamland is so beautiful, Linda! Artfull - no more words come to my mind.
Regards, Ewa

Hello Linda,

This shot carries a lovely 'mood' with it.
I love the light on the water between the trees and their reflections, and then the deep calmness of the water.
The sky looks so big and full of stars.
(It is so hilly around where I live that it is only when we go on holiday that we get this feeling of a 'big sky'!)
The tungsten effect is just fabulous.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Linda
Blue my favorite color, and you have used it well.
The limpid waters do give a great reflection.
Perfection plus for a night shot.

You can count on me for not deleting anything, first I don't think my photography is good enough to be sold, nor snagged.
If I ever feel that I am that good I would like someone to slap me back down to earth.
Dot

Hi Linda,

Terrific blues here Linda. I like the stars in the sky too... nice glow of city lights. Terrific!

Lisa
