Jackie, Isn't that Simpify just great on landscapes! It Looks like a watercolor painting. Really nice composition with the Lupines in the FG.! Love it!
Yes Denise, I have been quite taken by it. Not that expensive either. If you get Topaz Simplify, Adjust, and Denoiser, it is only 99. Not a bad deal if you consider that Noise Ninja alone is 99:)
jackie, i like the first one better. it has more muted tones that suit my eye. the second seems more contrasty. compowise, i might have tried to get a little higher as to not let the lupines intersect with the far side of the lake? otherwise, it's awesome and i love the filter.
Harold thanks for your tip. I will try to be aware of that next time I shoot. This was from last year so I wasn't that critical. Denise, Topaz is just too much fun!!!
