I started with this photo that I took at just about 4PM on a somewhat gloomy day at one of my favorite spots, Lake Quannapowett in Wakefield, MA. Yet, still, I noticed that twilight was imbedded in the image before my eyes – something so classic about the late afternoon on a wintry day in New England that I pulled over as I was driving by to capture it.
First, I tweaked the exposure for a clearer image.
Then changed hue – more blue-green with a rusty gold highlight for a tad more drama.
Last I gave it a slight curves adjustment.
I’m reluctant to post a link right now to our gracious host’s blog about the One Four Challenge because I was attacked by some malicious program that Norton caught before I did so. I hope it gets sorted out soon.

I really like the winter’s day coming to an end feel of this image, a few lights on in the distance a bit of moisture rolling off the water. It is really lovely. I also like the change to more golds in the foreground from the original. I can see why it is a favorite viewpoint.

Your editing really brought out the light and colours nicely. I am glad i didn’t visit the hacked site…and thanks for the warning!

Thanks but it was my PC that got hacked, not Robyn’s site! I’m still dealing with it. A Microsoft tech was on it all day yesterday and it’s still not completely resolved. I’m hoping for the best!

This is a very interesting image. I like the branch in front with just a few leaves, and the texture/colors of the grasses in front. Interested to see where you take this!

Yes, it didn’t really need much for the first go-round.
