Rayyan: The harpist at the cathedral, the menu at the cafe (which I loved), and now these. Your range and mastery of the craft never cease to amaze. Glad you're here, my friend. (And please add my voice to the wishes for a speedy and full recovery for both you and Ayesha!)

I like the grainy quality of all of these. Nice moment in this one, with her hair falling away from her face. Also, I'm glad you didn't get in too tight on her face in this one. Allows us to appreciate a more global view.Three from last night. D700 + 85 mm 1.4D (awaiting the G with baited breath).

Rayran... Amazing! What are you doing in PP that makes the images pop so much. I'm just amazed! They look fantastic.

Jason: Much appreciated my friend.
Jason the process I use is very very simple. I use CS3.
step 1: create 3 layers of your photo ( bg, bg copy 1, bg copy 2)
step 2: bg and bg copy 1; change the blend mode to multiply
step 3: bg copy 1 and bg copy 2; change the blend mode to soft light
step 4: layer mask and/or gradient tool and/or brush plus/or opacity control to vary effect of bg and bg copy 1
step 5: same as step 4 for bg copy 1 and bg copy 2
you should mix and match, play with curves on any combo of 2 layers.
Very simple to do; much harder to write about.
Maybe you can do it in PS Elements too, but I don't have it.
Step 6: selective sharpening 98% of the time using NIK Sharpner.
That's it.
Regards.

One Oak, at the far west end of 17th Street in Manhattan. I only got past the velvet rope because I was with my daughter (this isn't her). In shooting this I did try to include the right amount of torso.

Nice, though
So you read the gateaux menu(s), and Otis watch the people passing by... :toocool:
Nice approach Rayyan. Budapest on the second one?
Love it! :thumbup:

Splendid series Woody. No doubt the G one will do wonders in your hands, too.
