Hi James, I have tried some of the white balances in camera but have found autoWB is so true in my camera it is hard not to use it. In raw you have pixels to work with. I shot most of mine in Raw and then adjust white balance in raw from there. That is what makes digital so interesting because there are a lot of right ways to do it. This image has a mood and the colors work well but most of all the POV gives it the emotional reverence it deserves. Like what you are doing. It is all good!!
Be well, Stan

Ivona - Thanks. Yes, I work hard to ensure I am a photographer and not a photo-manipulator.

Ivona - Thanks. My work tends toward the dark. I do a lot of night photography, and my luxagraphic work requires slower shutter speeds so that tends to inform my work as well. Often I think my work suffers in thumbnail, but it will certainly shine large (projected or in print).

Roger - Well, in truth, I cheated: these dimples are formed by out of focus rain drops on the glass. Same final effect though.

wow!... love it... yeah what are dimples cused by... obviously some irregularity in the manufacturing stage.. but I wonder what causes them
Abstract
In situ pressure measurements within dimples formed in glass–steel point contacts under various sliding conditions were performed using Raman microspectroscopy. Experiments were conducted using a ball-on-disc type apparatus in which a circular contact is formed between a rotating glass disc and a rotating steel ball. Film thickness distributions were measured by duochromatic optical interferometry. Polyphenyl ether oil (5P4E) which has a high pressure–viscosity coefficient was used to produce a dimple in the contact area. Experimental results show that the pressure increases locally in the dimple zone and the pressure profile changes, accompanying the changes of the dimple location as a function of the slide-to-roll ratio. The maximum pressure is located downstream the maximum height of the dimple. The rheological response of the oil film under dimple occurrence conditions is discussed.
wow...
