Using and H&Y Graduated Filter for a Sunset in Austin

While on the Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge with a view looking to the northwest to a sunset. My thinking in composing this image was to take advantage of the sunlight, and the way it reflected across the lake waters. There would also be a few other people on canoes and paddles to add to the recreation feel of this setting. The main purpose of capturing this image was to practice on using some new H&Y filters that I had recently purchased. I wanted to practice on minimizing lens artifacts as well as being able to take the filters and set them up without spending a lot of time. My thinking is that I wanted to be able to use this on national park travels. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 5 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
