SMOKING TREE

Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XS, Tamron 28-80 lens @ 28mm, ISO 100, Single image HDR, f/16, 1/50 sec.

  Before I made it over to the TAYLOR BARN on Sunday, I stopped over next to my subdivision at the same pond that I shot PINEY SNOW REFLECTION  to get some reflection from the incredible sky we were treated to that afternoon.
  It wasn't until I got back home that night and started looking at my photos that I noticed the cloud formations over the pond looked like a smoke trail coming off of the leafless tree on the opposite bank from where I am standing. I was terribly excited once I noticed this and knew that between the deep blue sky, clouds, and nice reflection, I had to share this.
  Did an HDR process on the single image to bring out the midtones and details of the trees and foliage on the opposite bank.
