Computer geek extarodinaire, I love to tinker with gadgets and tech items to get them to do what I want. I'm either logically artistic or artisically logical. I'm also rude, crude, semi-barbaric, socially unacceptable, and totally psychotic. On the bright side - I am potentially harmless. I'm currently trying to write some short stories about the fae as well as a novel on those same fae as well as two other novels. The programs I have for photo and image editing are: Photoimpact from Ulead, Adobe Photoshop 7 and Corel Paint Shop Pro 2X. Recently I've added DAZ Studios as well as Terragen, Blender and Google Sketch to my list of programs crowding my hard-drive.  All this and much more on an old Pentium III 450 with 396 Megs of memory and operating Windows XP. It does get interesting at time.As of December 26, 2008, I have added Vue 7 Pioneer to my list of reason of why I'm going insane.
As of January 2010 I upgraded to a new HP 2 dual core processor with 6 gigs onboard mem with 4 gig powerboost and 2.07 terabytes of Hard drivesMy email is faemike55@gmail.com

losing the pipe does help the composition and maybe changing it to b/w would help clear up the noise

I like this one better. No pipe. ")

nica angle of capture mike.

I really didn't think the pipe was a problem, but seeing it without the pipe I have to agree this even better. Great job Mike.

I'll have to take a look for myself, but this is pretty good.

It's not easy to capture under moonlight conditions. I think this scene is quite striking.

Um...I liked the original one the best. The pipe didn't bother me. This got lightened up considerably and it would appear the smoother left it's own sort of artifacts. Unless you have a very expensive camera and lenses (like Nikon or Canon 35mm digital SLRs) and a tripod, chances are pretty much any photo taken this time of day or later is going to be a bit jpeg-y. Some worse than others. It's just to be expected. This has been my experience anyway. But that is just me. It's still a great photo of the moon on the water :)

This one is breathtaking Mike, well done

Hmmm...I actually didn't mind the last image at all, including the noise and the pipe. Still, this has a bit of a different look to it.

Better without the pipe. The concentration is now on the reflection and the moon. Nice work.

looks delightful mike man.

I see the Black and White comment.... I think you have more noise in the B&W than you do here.... I'd add more light to the imagae and play around with your contrast to drop some of that noise - heck, if you would going to try and sell something like this, you might even think about dropping in a different sky.

Nice capture.
crender
Outstanding!!

The pipe directs the drainage,and adds character. The focus is the beautiful reflections and that doesn't change. Both are very impressive.

Superb postwork on this, Mike! I like both versions, but I think this one is more 'art-y' if you know what I mean. This is one of the really cool things about digital photography - there are almost limitless ways to 'fiddle' with an image and really have fun seeing what kinds of effects you can get. Keep experimenting, Bro! It keeps you young! (well, kind of... LOL)
