Very nice image with lots of interresting details Ken. The nets, the buoy, the houses and the boats are all with beautiful colors. Thanks for your great comments and showing me your lion shot. You should have waked him up and made him a bit angry to open his big mouth....lol....Best regards Harry

Ken, I love the color of this shot. It offers the right "mood". Too bad about the vehicles and poles in the foreground.

Thanks for your comments. I used PS and its "Lightning Effects" (5 lights I think) to make those curves to my shot. I have used the same method in some other shots here.

Very beautiful toning, I like the warm tones. I would have tried to leave out of the picture all the modern items... Traffic signs, cars etc., but probably it would have been difficult. Nice work.

I belive that is a remarkable work in ps but in my opinion you could adjust the composizion infact the bottom could be cropped.

Hi, Ken! You've created a moody, very attention grabbing image with your castle. i didn't like the car, the truck or the horses..your latest version is close to perfect. i love the sky and the golden tones suit this old castle. i love duo, tri and quadtones. i love the channel mixer and also gradient mapping. It's all fun, it all has its place. i don't think there's any right or wrong way. It just depends on your image and the effect you are looking for. The only thing i personally would do to this image to finish it is crop closer to the castle on the right and i would (we're talking personally here, ok?) clone out just about everything that smacks of modern day. This includes light posts and that horizontal ribbed thing in the front. i say this because you have created a dungeon and dragon mood. The modern day stuff drags me back into reality and i don't wanna come back! Take care, Ken! And Happy Holidays! kat~

Excellent composed very beautiful water lilly shot Ken. Wonderful colors, lighting and details. Great sharpness and clarity. Splendid and very lovely work 5x7. Thanks again for your comment Ken. I did pay them three big salmons an a big pot of honey before they were willing to pose for me that way in the "Observation" photo....lol....Best regards Harry

Very nice still life Ken with interresting details, but the lightsorce comming from above is giving a bit of to direct lighting. The left side of the image is a bit underexposed. The one light from above you better should have placed a bit more to the right ore left with on the opposit side a reflecting screen with gold color on it to behold the beautiful warm colors and lighting wich is pressent in this shot. Sorry that I overlooked the photo you did submit with the truck cloned out in your "Conwy Castle" image. Thank you very much for your comments. The photo "Play at Fighting" I did take without a tripod, but I almost always use a monopod while photographing with bigger lenses....Best regards Harry

Hmmm - car out, truck out, Rebel and clone now in another pasture. Well, after all the remodeling Conwy has undergone in 8 centuries, a few more in PS won't hurt. I have been learning new things in digital darkroom dijemry from and in response to everyone's input, so thank you all. PSd version with no car, truck, or horse attached.

Effects work well on this composition. The sky has certainly benefitted from your manipulation-- nice image!! Removal of autos was good, but the horses are a bit disconcerting- they look as though they're against a bluescreen.

Sorry, Ken, I overlooked the improved version. Now I can compare it with the original cropped upload too. I'd say that the image with cloned cars/signs looks much better. Not sure about both horses, at least that white one looks fine, I mean lighting is fine. Finally, I like your toned versions better than the original (color).
Thanks for commenting on my images.

Well, perhaps its time to post the original that begat this duotoned bit of dijemry. I tried a tighter cropping to remove the car and truck (as opposed to the cloning used in version 2 in the comments above), but that destroyed the balance at the bottom edge. An exposure just prior to this one was taken at a slightly different angle and required adjustment for a strong trapezoidal perspective, but there were no cars or trucks. David, I tried the multichannel mixer, but was not satisfied with the results. I do appreciate the advice, however, and will try further experiments with this PS tool.

First of all I'd agree with Anouschka and Katrin about the truck and car. Basically, I'd suggest to clone out a)truck; b)traffic light and signs; c)car moving on the road. This may strengthen nostalgic look.
I'm not so strong photoshopper and has *discovered* Channel Mixer just recently. David's suggestions seems make sense. My feeling is that I would prefer a little bit more contrast.
The castle looks really impressive, nice texture. The clouds are great. The sepia-like toning adds nicely to old look.
