To get there. (as seen in Moscow)
Taken in Izmailovo of Moscow. The dog was obviously a homeless one (well, they are a sad part of the landscape..)
The Kremlin of Izmailovo in the background is an artistic simulation of the Russian architecture. It is a fantasy castle built in the early 2000.

(Great thanks to buddy Frank for capturing the #1 screenshot for me too!)
This is quite similar to another shot i posted 2 months ago. I believe at that time when i processed this hdr, i must be feeling quite happy & unknowingly unleash the saturation beast in me haha! Yesterday was the naughty beast :P Now that i look at this, i wonder if the colours are a bit too intense or is it because the strong colour theme fits the atmosphere really well back then? i've noticed a couple of ghost artifacts here & there but seriously i'm just too lazy to reprocess this so let's hope you don't get blinded by the power of my redness! :D
View LARGE On Black to feel the intensity :P

About
The Mossy Rocks at the Glenelg Beach
The Shot
Standard 3 exposure shot (+2..0..-2 EV) with tripod using Sigma DC HSM 10-20mm lens
Photomatix
- Tonemapped generated HDR using detail enhancer option
Photoshop
- Added 1 layer mask effect of 'curves' to increase the contrast
- Added 1 layer mask effect of 'saturation' (yellows & reds) to tone up part of the sky
- Blended in +2 EV exposure shot to correct the darkness of the rock section
- Blended in 0 EV exposure shot to correct the movement of water
- Applied dodging on the remaining dark area of the rocks
- Used 'unsharp mask' (as always) on the background layer
