I have never used that setting because it was always too blah for my subjects. Thanks for showing me a great example!

Wonderful leading lines there LOL
Sometimes just a wee bit of Topaz is best. Good job!

This is great. I love the lighting on the columns. It would be interesting to see the difference between the regular B&W and the Topaz B&W.

This is nice Deb. That's one of the really nice things about Topaz is that it can be very subtle. I would never have been able to tell it was used. Good Job.

I love this! Those ladders against the vertical pillars are just wonderful, I love the lines and angles. Perfect processing, really this is GREAT!

A solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it has significant impact being richly colored with excellant detail, but the author has succumbed to the overly tall temptation to add impact, depth and dimension - the image could have had one third cropped from the top and it wouldn't have decreased it's impact at all. This image would have worked as a black and white as well. A perfect demonstration of the power of properly controlled light and focus. A top ten image.

:) That is so cool. It looks like the wall guy is dipping his hands in the paint to do his own painting :)
