Lake Georgetown sure seems like a nice place to be. I don't get out there much, and living so close to it makes me think I need to make a better effort to get there. I bet there's lots to explore. I took this shot during a Sunday night last month in an effort to get more shots for my portfolio. This was taken from atop the dam overlooking some live oaks while the sun went down. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay much longer because the custodians of the dam were getting ready to close up for the evening. It would've been nice to get another shot with the sun a tad lower, but this turned out OK for the most part. I think the possibility of being stuck on the dam for the rest of the evening hastened my departure quite easily. That took a little more priority than getting the "perfect shot". ;-)

I used my standard processing for this one and also added a little Nik Viveza to the sky to bring out the blue and to the trees to make those stand out a little more.  All you have to do with Viveza is put a control point on the color you want to modify, like the sky in this situation, and then adjust the hue and saturation.  Wa-la!  It's an excellent product!  It sure makes life easier.
