While I wait for some snow on the ground, I will stare at this photo and pretend it is a winter wonderland out there....

On Hirtle's (Hartling) Pond

To auto white balance or not autowb...that is the question. What say you readers?

I like the colour and contrast of the grass in the autowb shot, but I like the colour/contrast of the sky and clouds in the non-autowb shot. I'm thinking the non-autowb image is 'truer' to the conditions at the time...

Any comments, post processing workflow suggestions are appreciated:
