    DPP 4.6 Standard setting, I reduced red orange and Hue on the yellow. PSCC 2017 added a little contrast with overlay mask.
    I am almost dizzy I have produced versions in DPP Standard, Fine Detail, ACR and DX One, in the end they are all similar .. but a little different. Do you like this one?

    Watch out for the right cross!

    Hehe, you are killing me buddy,but I love them.

    Jon this doesn't have quite the impact of the others you have shown for me. Deeply interesting Jon as it's something I wouldn't have considered if I had of got a chance thus far. jon I feel it's something to do with the all (visible) front legs being raised to a similar angle. I like the colour of the hares,still that niggle about a little more pop .Maybe that needs qualifying...that vibrance I spoke of in my own thread regarding colour,noted you colour reductions noted also that i'm leaning towards a bit more in the very colour that you have reduced. But this frame feels close to nature what I actually see in the wild. bkg colour looks good .

    Wonderful for me to watch you go through these images incredibly thought provoking as well as enjoying the "viewing" . Do you feel settled now on a raw converter especially with regards to this subject?

    Cheers for sharing another Jon

    Stu I will in all probability end up using DPP but I have recently tried DXO there is a free trial for 31 days. This converter is very sophisticated, it really makes me slow downs and actually consider in much more detail what I am doing. The benefit has been transferable to DPP where I am now doing a little more thinking and adjusting (and largely thanks to Andreas suggesting various colour adjustments).
    I see the benefit of really mastering one converter but I feel that by using more than one converter on certain occasions it makes me appreciate differing possibilities, even if I then revisit DPP to produce the image that was obtainable via for example ACR or DXO. I am trying to explain that sometimes it is possible to do a conversion and be happy with it, but it is possible to be happier having seen an alternative - this is often the case when posting on this forum, people take the time and trouble to suggest a different version and it just makes me think a bit more......and I am always very appreciative.

  4. Thanks Stuart Philpott thanked for this post

    I actually prefer this photo to the other, it seems to be more dynamic with suggestions of one hare backing down.

    Hi Jon, another nice image, I might just tweak the 'lights' in a Tonal Curve adjustment.

    I never knew they did that... great capture. Here in Florida all I have seen are Marsh Rabbits, smaller than these I think. Thank you for sharing, Jonathan.

    Hi Jon - Another good action shot and I again like the poses and the visible eyes. This one seems a bit darker than your prior posts like you brought the overall exposure down a bit?

    TFS,
    Rachel
