Beautiful pictures

It certainly is a lot more vibrant, but the terraces have become artificial looking... almost like an oil painting.
I might spend some time working on these now that you've challenged me.

problem with those is that i enhanced the data that is otherwise not there... if you dont have data, no matter how you enhance it, it wont look right, you know... that and i think i forgot to back out of a smart blur... happens... told you i spent like 3 minutes on it... ran it though a noise filter, then played with colors, tones, exposure and curves

[alexander]

oh also contrast... that gave me an edge around the top, so i was running some blurs to get rid of it, Gaussian at .3 radius worked the best, but i think i i forgot to back out of a smart i was trying earlier... i mean ideally you have a higher res photo, and use masks... I just didnt have the time

Hey all,

I asked him wether i could post em here, and he said to go ahead as ling as i don't erase the water mark.
so here they are.

Just the scene for the setting, a forest where a leopard, tigress, and wild dogs, all top carnivores in the same area, having a small power struggle.
i tell you it was a miracle to witness
