Well spotted. Probably my favourite Topaz Adjust preset. I really must purchase the Nik software and try and expand my processing:)

Btw congrats on the super result for you.

You've pulled the shadows too hard here. I see what you were going for, but there are two ways to deal with this.

The first, is a massive hit of noise reduction, the other is to embrace the grain, and convert to black and white, while adding a bit more to even things out.

Great image for Peter, and really a powerful image as well, very spooky cloud mass there!

WOW talk about contrast, great bokeh I really like that pentagon shape in the bokeh. Well done.

I like the detail in the butterfly/moth, but the background seems to detract from it.

Oh neat, that plant gives the feeling of extra wingspan.

Nice capture of the butterfly but find the bokeh a bit busy.
