After an over-night storm, I shot this pier near Sunny Isle, FL.
I used Nik Efex Pro filter to add toning and cold effect.
I wanted to bring out the detail and the highlights in the center of the palm tree, so I shot this tree in 3 exposures. +2, 0, -2, handheld.
I then combined the images in Photoshop to make a HDR image. The tree has a little glow to it. I think it gives it a warmth. Makes you feel as if you are lying on the beach looking up at the palm.
