    I converted this image in photoshop. The first one has been done thru deselecting the individual channels. A slight sepia filter added. I was originally going for a soft focus and was happy with the first one-then I converted it in Silver-efex and now I'm not sure. Maybe I need to get off the screen:eek:
    The second one has no filter ,more contrast and was converted using silver -efex.
    Which do you prefer?

    Both are nice for different reasons, Denise. The first one has a softer feel and the bottom one more intense. I think the second one has more presence in the frame if that helps at all!

    Denise, I tend to lean towards the 2nd due to the contrast between the leaf and backround.

    The first is soft, as if it were in a dream. The second has a real nice punch that I personally do prefer. Good job. You are always tinkering with ideas. That is so neat. :)

    Like them both, Denise. The second one has very nice contrast, but personally I think I like the soft feel of the first one a little bit more. Just my $.02!

    Like the tones of the first and contrast of the 2nd. Try playing with the different color filters in Silver FX and see if you can strike a balance....

    Surely, I am late on this Denise, and Im going for no 2. I like the contrast more, thus popping more than your other version. The veins in the leaf stand out so much better too.
