Lake Pearson, Arthur's Pass, a photo from Canterbury, South Island

Photographer's Note

Lake Pearson is located at Arthur's Pass National Park. Unfortunately I had no filters with me while taking this picture. Two years later I wanted to repeat the shot with a better camera and polarization and/or UV-filter - only to see that the grass in front of the lake was missing. There was only mud and it was hard to believe that it was the same place as shown on this picture :-(

Hello michael,
That is a really nice place, typical of NZ.
I think you have two problems here with your photo:
- the accentuation seems really too much, and the greens are not natural.
- the clearness is also not very good.
I wanted to propose you a workshop.... just Have seen that it is not possible... so just to say that it is possible to correct..

Hi Micheal,

Very nice scene from NZ full of peace and life!

Well composed with good POV. But it seems that there's so much green in the whole scene and it's better to mask it in PS and reduce green from sheeps, sky and water.
