I like these trees, and I like the way they frame the patch of pond and the trees and sky behind. I like it so well that I have taken this shot in most of the seasons when you can get to this place. It is right off the road, but they do not plow a way in in the winter, and it is unsafe to stop on the road and walk in. This is coming on for real summer in Maine. Our first sun, as it happens, in many days of rain…you can still see the mist hanging in the air over the pond.

This is the camera on the Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone. Rich Tone / HDR mode. I then processed the image right on the phone with PicSay Pro…using sharpen and boost…but also a touch of Faux-HDR to open the shadows even more.
