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

[Matty P (Matt)]

Absolutely beautiful Humayun.

I love every bit of it.

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.

Matt,

Cheers, mate!

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

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...?
