This water emerges from glacial marls, pure and clear, before flowing into a kettle pond. Here we see it on a winter afternoon meandering across a meadow before joining the Fall Creek of the previous postings of this week.
The first two are the same photograph. One has been enhanced in Photoshop. The other was perfected in Lightroom. The third is a different photograph taken about the same time, also peracted in Lightroom.
All were from a tripod mounted Kodak DSC pro SLR-C with the Canon lens EF 50mm f/1.4 USM

The first one looks the best.

You weren’t idle in creating versions of your photographic idyll, nor in calling forth the archaic verb peract.

I think the first one is most natural. Do you like Lightroom? We’ve never used it.

My favorite is the second image. I prefer the colors in it compared to its counterpart.

I like the first one the best, but all three are stunning and convey the sound of a babbling brook and the chill of the day.

Michael, your wintertime photography is a pleasure to view. The second photo offers a more natural feel. I was fortunate to photograph some winter scenes a week ago before the big thaw arrived.
