Hi everyone, I've been busy for the last week getting my new computer set up and installing all the software all over again. :c3: Finally getting back to actually working on it! Too much detail in this one for the small image, but I think you can imagine what the big image looks like. At least I hope so...
Here's another Chumash dancer (actually the same one) from Satwiwa. Here the hawk has found its prey and is moving in...
I used the new Topaz Lens Effects for the multi-layer vignette, plus the usual Detail, Adjust, and Clean. Something I really like about the Lens Effects filter is that you can "apply" the look you create and keep working, adding other effects until you are happy then you can save it. Very cool! :c3::c3:

Kerry,
Wow! I love the drama in this image enhanced by the subject lighting and vignette. Beautifully done.

Nicely processed Kerry! I really like the way the background looks. I haven't tried Lens Effects yet but I watched the intro video, looks good!

Awesome image, Kerry. Excellent colors. I almost think the turning this to sepia and reducing the vignette a bit would bring out a very nice alternative here. Looking forward to more of the dance images!

very nice Kerry. Love the details and I like the vignette, but wonder if it may be a touch too dark

I like how you captured the intensity, Kerry, and very nicely processed with the new Topaz lens vignette effect.

Kerry, I love this. I keep looking at it over and over. Beautiful pose and detail. It tells such a story.
