   That's a test shot.
   
 I'm new here, so take this fwiw:
 
 You have a good idea with the longer exposure.  Now find a way to make the blurred / smooth water work for you.  Think more fountain, less background.

 Oh I'm not disagreeing here - it was definitely a test shot.  I have maybe 20-30 test shots of that fountain just playing around with getting the lighting and water work.

Thats the right idea. Experiment!  You'll figure out what you're doing just by effing around! As for me...  I still have no idea what I'm doing. THe doors  
 Probably my fav from the ones you've posted up thus far

Very first frame ever taken with 5D2.  Sitting in desk chair...just spun around and shot this thing.  Completely unedited.

Am I looking at some camera raw graduated filter effect on the clouds?
 Yup.  I'm a big fan.

I wish you could mask camera raw gradients...  Bob, I like what you did there, just wish it didn't bleed over onto the buildings.

i guess it'd be possible once you open it up in ps.  just would take a few more steps. 
 
 I was thinking you could do the image twice and then paste them together as layers with some masking.
 cheers,
 scott
 Sure, just saying it would be nice if Knoll got a clue and included gradient masks in the next RAW update.

 It would make my life easier, I use the grad filter a lot.
 
 I also want to be able to apply lens corrections to layer masks in PS for when I fuck up and don't notice that the CA is intolerable until I'm halfway through painting a mask in.
 
 cheers,
 scott

I like the first better, but what do I know?! 
 The lower contrast on the elk or the goddamn-that's-green background?  I'm torn on the elk myself, but that background and it's sharpening had to go.
 
 cheers,
 scott

 I'd like to see a BIT more color in #2. 
 
 I've been playing with the camera profiles in ACR looking for something different than my usual Landscape profile and this was one of the 3 D2X profiles I had downloaded.  It is a little drab.
 
 cheers,
 scot

 I actually enjoy the bleed, as if it were a real grad filter in front of the lens...it's a look I just dig...if slightly old school.  It's often hard to place properly and find the right level of graduation and stops down.
 
 I spent a good long while farting around with selecting portions of another photo last night and was about to stab myself...and all for results I didn't really like.

I wish I knew how to fuck around in LR or PS like you guys do...  I'm sure some of my pics would look fucking way better then they do, lol..  I'd love to make the clouds 'pop' more so it looked a bit more stormy (It wasn't)
 Here's one I fucked with.

 Quick preview from today, still needs a lot of work to clean up but the overall feel is close.
