Looks good Chris, Lots of detail to look around at.

Well done.

Thanks for the comments.
This was taken after our 2 week old son (Miles) woke us up at 3.00 am this morning.

Just got PS4 a few days ago and still working it out. My wife says I don't notice colours anyway. She might have a point, I didn't notice 2 purple walls in our new house for 6 months until they were pointed out to me.

Any help with processing would be most appreciated.

Cheers

Chris

That's a real cool shot Chris. I was looking at it in PS and the washed out appearance can be fixed by tightening the histogram with levels. But there is something wrong with your red channel somehow. It's very weak compared to the blue and green which is the best of the three. Other than that incredible details.

If you have a look in PS in the red and blue channel you'll see the signal is very weak. Did you capture in raw files? I suspect the colour balance would have to be done in the raws to push the reds a tad prior to scale in PS.

Hi Marc

Had another go at processing this using the histograms.

How does this one look?
