Coniston moods

By redstag  
A moody image taken on holiday this year of Coniston Water.
This was taken from the North side of the lake, walking distance from the village.

I am posting two versions, this one which is a bit bright on my monitor, but prints off well, and a second darker image. Let me know which you prefer.

Thank you for looking.

Jon

I'd be tempted to crop just below the sun though, on looking at it again?

Is that really how the sky was Jon, almost as though a beam of light is about to descend on the boat !

Yes v1 on this monitor at work!

Caleb, the sky was basically like that-however it is HDR'd so there is a bit of enhancement going on here! And it did rain on and off all day.

Thanks for all the comments.

I must admit, I like the bright orange 'hole' at the top, a great contrast with the tranquil scene below. I understand where Joan and Paul are coming from.

blinking heck Jon. This is like a sci-fi move and not just the HDR element.

What a unique version of the lakes. Are you sure it wasn't Loch Ness with Nessie beaming up to her ship?

I like all versions but would personally probably have gon for 3 but with a bit more oomph in the sky as I'm not a HDR kinda guy. You've used it magnificently here though!

Cheers,
