It's a stunning piece of art, H. What are you doing differently now? There's a soft filter or something?

Absolutely beautiful Humayun. :)

I love every bit of it. :thumbsup:

Wonderful. It would make a terrific framed print.

Mike,

Thank you. :)

I am processing the image, with up to 15 layers of differing data in Photoshop. Curves, levels, and saturation to name a few.

One of the last steps is to apply a very soft blur to recreate a soft focus effect. It doesn't work on all shots, but, sometimes it's just enough to give a fairy tale or ethereal look about an image.



Thank you, sir. :)



Matt,

Cheers, mate!

That's the plan -- to get it printed and framed. :)

Humayun

Lovely effect!!

Going to have to sit down and work out how to do this HDR....

Maybe if there is a dodgy night at lostock we could have a little workshop...?
