Artist's Comments
A picture taken during my late-summer vacation to Sweden this year.
The outcome reminded me of some paintings by Bob Ross
"...and a happy little boat lives over there"
Technical:
The picture is an HDR photography, assembled from four individually exposed pictures of the same scene, taken with my Konica Monolta DiMAGE A2 on a tripod.
The images were first developed from RAW using Adobe Camera RAW and Photoshop Elements 5, then denoised using "NeatImage Pro+" to reduce the grainyness in the darker parts of the picture, then fed to Photomatix 2.5.4 as 16 bit TIFF files, turned into an HDR file and then tonemapped and saved again as 16 bit TIFF file.
Back in Elements 5, the resulting picture was cleaned up a second time, brightness- and tone-adjusted, touched up and finally saved as 8 bit JPEG file.

Deviousness
`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment.
She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More |

very nice HDR-image. Cool!
I added your photo to my favourites.
my fav part is the reflection of the sky in the pool on the left.
it sounds like an awful lot of work to make it...but i guess its worth it for something like this

in hindsight, i should have used more forethought

damn fine picture!

Neither Angel of Heaven nor Demon of Hell, I wander the fine grey line between.
Well, if you invest days on end for posing a 3D scenery, more days setting up the right lighting and all and finally wait yet another day for the final high quality render, then I think you can invest 15 minutes set-up and photography plus an hour or two in postwork to get a high quality photography, don't you think?
I really have to try and re-create something like this with my new camera once I get the next chance for a vacation in Sweden.
I also should have made yet another very short-timed exposure of this shot to get a little structure into the bright blotch that is the sunset. Still I like the overall outcome of the picture very much.
