Funnily enough I only do the last bit, the rest is for making fake doctored images

I think there have been plenty of versions of the smiley face taken at "Twilight" ..?

I think you're right! It's gonna be another "Comet McNaught" flood of entries

I splurged on Noise Ninja just to keep the world economy going, all i can say is WOW what a difference milo makes........... oh and processing from RAW files, best 130 dollars I have spent (this week) Mcnaught will get a completely reprocessing from me with noise ninja..........

[RB (Andrew)]

Wow !!!!.........you actually bought s/w?

I mean......Wow...what a stunning photo, that's awesome mate.
The colour is fantastic.

So you reckon NNinja is good huh?
I'll have to give it a try, I've always wanted to.
Maybe Neat Image is a little dated now, I'll see how they compare.

it is reasonably easy to use - well i used it so there that says it all

you can trial it but it sticks watermarks all over your image when your done

I was going to say the other day that you should put a little more care into your processing, including noise reduction.

I use Noiseware Pro.

You've captured the scene and mood very well Dave. I love the sunset colours especially. Russ
