love that fountain! I think if you play with the exposure sliders you might be able to brighten up the people some more.

I really like the warm tones in this - the reds and yellows. I suspect the Topaz enhanced those for you.

man .. wot an amazing shot getting them both .. one very still and the other moving faster than the eye can see ... (i've never seen a hummingbird but i've been told that they are very difficult to photograph because they move so fast) .. kudos to you for getting such a difficult shot .. :)

I thought this might have really been Venice (where I'm heading next week to start a cruise!!!). The texture really comes out on this processing. This was probably a difficult lighting situation,and you did well. If you find a setting you really like make sure to save it. I often get a good customized preset and then for the rest of the shoot most shots I can just select the first item under Filter and it will repeat the same processing. If it doesn't work then I undo it and go into TA to tweak it.

Nice job. You can hardly tell that Topaz was used. Great timing for this scene too :)
