You certainly did bring out an amazing amount of color and detail based on that before image! Hard to believe you got that with a MONOPOD! I agree, there is a lot of noise, but you already knew that. Comes down to artistic preference right?

Very nice processing, and great pair of expressions to work with. I like the tones and the softness of the image, and the recolor of the blue shirt makes it blend in much better. The only thing I might suggest is trying to reduce the hot spots on the left face. Nicely done! :-)

What a cool composite! L really like what you did with the moth... he pops right out of the screen. If this were something I was going to print or keep, I think I would lose the border all together. I think the greens in the moth are more powerful without it, and it would accentuate the negative black space in the composition. Very nicely done!

This is a very impressive edit. The sepia tone works VERY well, and I really like the gradient or darkening in the sky. FYI, I voted this WAY higher than a 6.5

Hello! I got to your profile through the"Undiscovered Gems" thread. This phot is AMAZING! I was trying to figure out the scale, until I found the pine tree on the right. Then I liked this even more. Just a great photo!

I didn't vote in this challenge, so I saw this in the before and after side challenge. Quite a striking image, and I think you made and excellent decision to conver to B&W. Crazy how from the thumbnail that scarf absolutely disappears!

Very NICE edit. The first thing I noticed was of course, the tree. But then you follow the tree branches out, and there is a whole other picture to look at in there. Very, very interesting! Glad you pulled this out and blew the dust off!

From the thumbnail I thought that bird was on fire! (or made to look like it.) I was afraid to open this and see all of the outraged hollering in the comments! Silly me...it's just a magical chickadee. Everybody likes those!
