[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 198541, member: 9240"] It's a nice shot. I was thinking about the branches as well, but I have a feeling that a little left and they start getting in the way, and it's even possible that at some point the right branches were clear and the wind moved them in on this particular shot. Regardless, I'm not bothered by them. If I was I'd also say you needed to get a little higher to avoid cutting off the bottom molding. I'm a little curious about your using LR to "reduce noise" on an ISO 200 image. I wouldn't expect there to be much, if any noise, at that level (I shot with a D90 for months) unless it was introduced in post processing by some of the adjustments. When you get used to LR I think you'll find yourself doing the bulk of your adjustments there, including NR (which I tend to do right at the beginning, and occasionally again at the end with severe processing). And while LR's reduction sliders are wonderful, Nik's Dfine 2.0 blows them away. Just saying. ;) [/QUOTE]
