Morning Sunlight
By running this image through Photomatix and Lightroom in a specific way, I was able to enhance the sunlight through the mist without creating excessive amounts of noise. At the same time, the light and colours through the leaves on the trees was perked up, giving these parts of the image a really attractive finish too. I tried to end up with a look of "believable realism" to the final image, despite what was, for me, quite a lot of tinkering.
