My thoughts exactly.

Or it's just a big dark mass (and mess).

Thanks.

Wow! I didn't know SG has locations like these! Care to share the location?

[Redsun]

wow!beautiful colours!
where's this place?

[BlurQueen78]

Did you make use of filters to achieve the color effects?

I think USR means Upper Seletar Reservoir ... now where exactly in USR, he will have to show us in the map.

On the pictures color, I feel somehow it is a bit saturated. Probably some filter (CP or ND) has been used.

Thanks for the comments.

It's along the upper seletar reservoir. Pic below:




The saturation is post processed. (of course, the pics were taken with that in mind).

a wee bit overdone for me. and yes, the last shot is nice - i'm thinking a lower perspective would have "separated" the tree further and strengthened it more - and perhaps if possible, extend the exposure for a smoothened reflection.

in fact, i think i would prefer a landscape format for that one. i thought while there was attention paid to composition here, a little bit more to work out the finer points would be great.

thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the thoughts and comment. The tree is indeed THE star of the show, with the red glow of the sky and water the backdrop. A pity really that the tree is not talller, and i don't have a longer lens with me to isolate it. Let me share the landscape one:

I think the dark mass is just a little too over powering. (and hence the choice of the portrait version).

Alternative subject is the buoy. Is it a better choice?

When i have time, i'll see if the "radioactive" version works.

Cheers!

Agreed, i cant appreciate the over saturation of your pictures, it looks like it is bleeding red. less is always more and same concept is also applied to vignetting.

I like, however, the creatively formed clouds in the first picture. Nice exposure

Sure, thanks.


One last shot that i liked with minimal processing (cropped to fit my laptop) :

happy shooting.
