This is awesome. We used to swim in an old quarry long time ago. Old trains still sit at the bottom.

Default Beautiful

Is this an HDR or tonemapped? The increased saturation really adds interest.

great capture.

@Ella1267: Old trains? Cool! Places like this always gives me the spooks! Heheh!

@dhparsons: Neither, it was a long exposure at night. I merely increased the saturation and added sharpening in post processing. If you look closely, there's a star trail on the top edge of the photo. Thanks for the compliments!

Very nice exposure, Zack. The colors and lighting are superb.

Very nice colour. Don't think I'd be able to swim in there though. I'd be way too freaked out.

High there,
love the colours in this beautiful image of your Zack. Only thing, I would have been so tempted to throw a large stone into the middle of the pool and capture the ripple effect. BUT hey thats just me and I am so impressed with this cracking image. Well done and thank you for sharing it with us.
David.
