not sure I love the processing on the landscape, but it's a RAD shot.

Thanks guys!

Ben - what don't you like about the processing? I am curious...

the HDR processing (or whatever it is) makes the snow look like it's from a movie set, or marshmallow fluff?

Was not HDR, I used the Nik Color Efex Pro -> Tonal Contrast effect. Might be able to tone that down a bit....

yeah, they're tonal contrast is very similar to photomatix's tonemapping IMHO, which is what gives that HDR look.

Cool set! This is making me want to get back out hiking again. Where in NH is this?

Thanks! This is right off the Rocky Gorge Scenic area on the Kancamagus Highway in the White Mountains region of NH.

Nice! I thought the area looked familiar!

The detail and depth in 3 is fantastic.

amazing landscape shot

+1 and the dog shots are awesome. He has a very pointy nose!

Thanks! Samba's nose is very pointy indeed - we have yet to figure out what breeds she is composed off
