[Octane (Humayun)]

Ron,

Thank you! My focus was a little soft on the edges, but, that was because I was using a kit lens at its widest focal length (18mm).

Gary,

Wow, that's some praise! I put my all into every image I capture and process. I'm glad it's paid dividends!

You have achieved what you set out to do magnificently.

Mike,

Thank you, mate! I spent pretty much all of yesterday working on this one.

I'm dying to put my processing skills to good use once more -- astrophotography!

Your processing is superb.

Andrew,

Thank you! I was hoping that there would be no people in my image. But, it's the Colosseum -- what more can one expect? There were weddings and all sorts of things going on the day I was there. I basically set up camp in the middle, right up against the fence, and stayed there for several hours waiting for the right light. I think I got it.

This is great Humayan!! Excellent processing has just captured the mood of the grandness of the place. The people that got in your way while capturing the images look like ghosts and just make you think of the history of the place.

Liz,

Thank you.

Post some of your images up here! When are you going to Rome? I'm envious -- I want to go back!

I will also be going to Rome later in year, so will see The Colleseum in a different Octane light .
Thank you Humayan.
Will make my pc wallpaper very soon!!

Stephen,

Thank you, kind sir.

Thank you everyone. I feel this is one of my grandest pieces. It felt good when I finally saved the final image, uploaded and went to bed. It was a real buzz. I miss this feeling -- I used to get it processing my astrophotography. I'll get back into it really soon!

Regards,
Humayun
