ETA..35 degrees is a good excuse

[xelasnave]

SO when the thermometer hit 35.3 C I thought although I dont need it I will put on the genny and run the Air conditioner and play with the big desk top[.

Then I thought I will make a USB with stuff on it to get printed out and started going thru my old images.

Anyways I came across this which must be the closest I have got to true colour so I played with it and thought to put it up to find out if the colour really is near perfect so honest opinions are welcome


It has dropped to 31 degrees now which is ok ... one side effect of my cancer drugs is a sensitivity to cold which seems to mean at high temperatures I do not feel uncomfortable. 35 degrees did not worry me...and yes plenty of fluids..third can of coke already. funny when some of you may recall me dropping because of heat exhaustion once in Sydney and being rushed to hospital.

Anyways thanks for looking.

Fantastic Alex, Bravo!

I think the colours are great, and I don't know if it's how you processed it, but to me the image has a real depth to it as well. Fine stuff mate!

Thank you gentlemen.
I have now a few on USB to print up so when I give out the flowers I can give a few photos to the ladies as well.

Great image Alex. The colours you chose have shown, as Warren said, a lot more depth to the nebulosity. If I squint, it looks like a half-opened rose.

Cheers,

Thank you gentlemen ..I am starting to wonder if it is actually mine and not something I downloaded to copy the colour and did not get rid of it after looking at it...I am going to check my old hard drive...I am pretty sure its mine but it looks too good...mmm must be mine cause I had to down size it I think..or did I??? ...this is terrible Now I am not sure and getting confused..

Folk saying the colour is good worries me for obvious reasons...anyways leave it with me...the way I can tell is if it is a big image on my drive ... I was going thru getting stuff to print so you would think I would have noticed if it was a small file..

OK it is mine for sure and while checking I could not help doing another version ..I wonder how they compare..I reprocessed from composite (but not on the new version of Startools which is on the desk top as I need to fill the genny etc to run that..I used the lap top to make sure it was mine...) thru to Photoshop ..just finished it now and I should wait but I really wanted to clear up and confirm that I did not post someone else's by mistake.
So I have not compared yet and will do that here.
