Another photo from my outing this past weekend with fellow TL member akula802 (check out my original "widescreen" post if interested). This was taken at a park somewhere in St. Paul overlooking the river. The reflections of the lights hanging on the trees over this drinking fountain caught my eye. This was my favorite shot out of all those I took of this particular subject.

Although I normally do very little post-processing I felt that this one needed more than the usual to make it really "pop" and give it the look that I intended when I was shooting. I have posted the original photo as a workshop if you are interested in before and after.

PP included adjusted levels, greatly altered color balance (removed all red and added a little yellow), increased saturation and contrast, cropped from the bottom (where there wasn't much going on), unsharp mask (100%, 100.1 pixel radius), and added "widescreen" frame.

Comments, critiques, and workshops are always appreciated (especially since this is my first HPP photo); thanks for looking.
