Nice composition Waddy. Shame about the ISO eh! Nice subtle in camera processing.

I like the detail Germaine in a very simple shot. Lots to look at. How many images did you stitch together?

This is a great restoration Michelle - very surreal

The First Photo

Beautiful newborn shot Brian - I do agree with jutilda and roz with regard to the smoothness of the image. The border for me is a little heavy and possibly the vignette could be a little less invasive.

Hi Julie, cute pup. I agree with everyone else, just wile away the hours playing with PS. A good starting point is to work through and get familiar with all the adjustment layers first. These affect the image as a whole and are the basic tools of any processing. IMO levels, curves and shadow and highlight are three great starting points. don't forget to duplicate your image first so that you are working on a copy and keep the original just in case you need to start again.....on another copy of course. Enjoy...

Love the DOF in this Judy. My only nitpick is that the top of the petal is outside the frame but everything else about this image is just gorgeous.

Happy New Year Kelli. Hmmm! I can see that she is going to be a future star of DPC the way she's playing up to the camers. Love the hair.

Like the painted effect with the Topaz Marion. It gives the water a lovely crystal effect. Good job masking out Tisa.

I like the stark contrast between the horizon and the sky. It gives a calming effect to the upper half of the image. The overlay IMHO adds to the business of the breaking waves and the movement created by the people walking along the beach.
