Description
there were a couple points brought up regarding the image that I posted: crop out the pipe (the pipe actually connects the two ponds together) and the pixelation.
I pulled the original image and I cropped it and ran the smoother through it.
Here is the result

losing the pipe does help the composition and maybe changing it to b/w would help clear up the noise
I like this one better. No pipe. ")
Ohhh....Such a beautiful image Mike, marvelous work!
nica angle of capture mike.
I really didn't think the pipe was a problem, but seeing it without the pipe I have to agree this even better. Great job Mike.
I'll have to take a look for myself, but this is pretty good.
It's not easy to capture under moonlight conditions. I think this scene is quite striking.
Um...I liked the original one the best. The pipe didn't bother me. This got lightened up considerably and it would appear the smoother left it's own sort of artifacts. Unless you have a very expensive camera and lenses (like Nikon or Canon 35mm digital SLRs) and a tripod, chances are pretty much any photo taken this time of day or later is going to be a bit jpeg-y. Some worse than others. It's just to be expected. This has been my experience anyway. But that is just me. It's still a great photo of the moon on the water :)
This one is breathtaking Mike, well done
Hmmm...I actually didn't mind the last image at all, including the noise and the pipe. Still, this has a bit of a different look to it.
Richard knows his stuff. lol you did good too on doing this. b/w do look better in this type of image
Better without the pipe. The concentration is now on the reflection and the moon. Nice work.
looks delightful mike man.
I see the Black and White comment.... I think you have more noise in the B&W than you do here.... I'd add more light to the imagae and play around with your contrast to drop some of that noise - heck, if you would going to try and sell something like this, you might even think about dropping in a different sky.
good!
Looks great now Mike, nice changes!!
this is a good capture Mike..but i do prefer the B/W
I still like it and the original
A beautiful nocturnal photography Mike....!!!
marvelous!!
Nice capture.
Outstanding!!
The pipe directs the drainage,and adds character. The focus is the beautiful reflections and that doesn't change. Both are very impressive.
Such a beautiful Capture Mike.
Excellent work!!!!
Looks fantastic!!!!!
Love the lights through the trees!!
This is a very nice picture, have a nice Sundayevening!
WOW! This looks pretty good Mike! You got a lot of the pixelation out! VERY NICE!
Superb postwork on this, Mike! I like both versions, but I think this one is more 'art-y' if you know what I mean. This is one of the really cool things about digital photography - there are almost limitless ways to 'fiddle' with an image and really have fun seeing what kinds of effects you can get. Keep experimenting, Bro! It keeps you young! (well, kind of... LOL)
