    Natural light...well done! DOF could be improved, but unless the natural light is perfect, your hooped Good detail might be able to stand a bit more adjustment PS. to make the colors pop.

    The fact that it is taken in natural light is immediately apparent, it looks natural, and hand-held. Marvelous!

    Wonderful work, Ray, specially for hand holding in natural light.

    Glad you are feeling better and are up to photog again :)

    Hi Raymond,
    I find this very nicely done with the natural light and hand holding. I have to ask though.........why stop at ISO 400? I have many friend who use Nikon equipment and they have no real issues at ISO 800. This would have allowed for a hair more ambient light on the BG and a bit more speed or DOF.
    Glad to hear you are feeling better!

    thanks Roman.. I agree another stop would help., but my post processing skills are limited at best... I almost never go over iso 250., and all I do in PS is levels, clone out a twig if needed, and resize., i might hit the shot with the S/H tool ... maybe 1 in 10.

    I need to learn Nx, and I will when I have time.
