3rd Place Vista Road IntoThe Dawn Light

Post-Processing:
These were two raw images joined together, one taken for the sky and one for the ground. I ran the bottom image through Neat Image as it was a bit noisy. Cloned out some red flare. Adjusted levels. Added the sky image as a second layer and merged it in with a layer mask. Flattened.

Extra Info:
The sun had just come up and I was travelling with friends in their car. The sun had just risen and we were moving into overcast rainy conditions. The light on the rails at the side of the ribbon of road was just perfect and dramatic. I quickly shot two images as we sped along.

	LindyB Nov 14, 2009 20:02 GMT	Wow, this is such a dramatic shot! The post processing sounds way too complex for me, but I love what you achieved with it. High in my TT.
	hsps2 Nov 14, 2009 18:12 GMT	A good example of why we should always have a camera handy. You couldn't have planned it any better. The great scene combined with some skilled technical adjustments make this a winner.
	leanneqld Nov 14, 2009 11:17 GMT	You did a nice job blending the 2 pics. I think its a lovely scene and you captured it very well. So much so it gets my #1 vote.
