Attempt to create a bit of drama. Lots of color and shadows. Only marginally interesting thing in the xmp is the use color zones to limit the pink/red a bit.
[ update ] - I just realized this is in ROMM RGB (ProPhoto) space, not sRGB. ROMM is my default since I’m usually further editing images in a bitmap editor and I forgot to change it for this JPG.
I would vote for this by Iphilpot.
Len’s blurring of the mirrored part makes it less apparent that the foliage moved during the exposure and never created a total contrast to the ‘restless’ part in the water.
Sorry, poor choice of words. By ‘neutral’ I meant no color cast or shifting of colors. For example, my Hexanon 52mm f/1.8 tends to produce a cooler image, and my Helios 58mm f/2 produces warmer colors. I don’t perceive any color cast from this CZJ lens.
