A single tree for C&C

This is a tree capture I made before Christmas. It was on an extremely foggy night and I wanted to capture some Christmas Lights in the fog. However, this tree jumped out and made me take its photo. Let me know what you think. The color is true, the gold/yellow comes from Sodium Vapor lights that were really on fire in the fog.

    It's not easy to make sodium street lights attractive but you've pulled it off somehow!thumb.gif

    Hi Josh, the white balance in this photo ain't correct. If you wanted it this way it's fine with me, but low-pressure sodium vapor lights should have temperature about 2000k. These lights are sometimes difficult to color correct. The shot itself is, dunno, nothing special.

    Thanks Colin!

    Dragan - Thanks for the technical input. I'll have to check my workflow, I may have dropped the yellow tones a bit. It's been a little while since I worked this one.
