Lovely image, and very nice HDR-like post-processing

Thanks, Mike. I was concerned I may have slightly over-cooked it. I enjoy fiddling about in PP, trying new things, and sometimes it's hard to know when to stop...

I know what you mean, but it works really well here

Just slightly

But tastefully done!

From 2011 with a Sigma A28-84 on *ist D:

It's not a Pentax, but I still keep a 6MP Nikon D40 around. The autofocus motor in the only lens I have for it (18-55) is busted from being dropped too many times, so it shoots in manual mode. I switched to Pentax instead of upgrading in Nikon world. I got some great images out of that camera. These images are from 2007.

Seven years ago at the lake (the tree is no longer there). DA18-55 on K100D:

Twelve years ago, at a loch (the hotel is still there). *ist DS + 18-55, post-processed to make it look much bleaker than it actually was.

Eleven years ago; different lake. (Island is probably still there, expect the boat and swan have moved on).
*ist DS + 18-55. Random water clutter cloned out to make it look even more tranquil, otherwise SOOC.

Thanks Rob. It was quite hot at the time, as I remember it!
