All the best,

Hmm not Broken Leo, just under processed. I'll be pushing harder on the next panel.

Thanks Rolf, my normal processing techniques had little effect on the 3D effect, so I tried using a HDR mask and it seemed to work better. The moral to the story is that we continue to learn if we keep expanding our wants how an image should look.

With the way this winter is hitting here I am betting I might get another panel completed and perhaps another after than on this area this year. I doubt I will get a fourth done.

I love the strong, saturated colours.

Again, the "rays" shooting out from Antares really make the photo for me.

Ross.

Thanks Ross. Yes the rays are not intentional. Not my favourite but if you like them that is good. Its a weird effect. Not sure why those are there. I am not going out of my way to remove them, but don't really want to do anything that exaggerates them either.
