| Not sure about the first one, but I'm pretty sure the 2nd place was done with Topaz. You could always pm them and ask. |

I don't know if  bnilesh uses Topaz or not, but I think I got a similar appearance to my street portrait entry as many of his possess, and I did use some Topaz adjust.
A very modest amount, however. I believe I used the "Photo pop" preset and cranked up the "regions" slider a bit more. I also used a little of PaintShop Pro's clarify adjust, which is similar in nature, but not identical. I've found that several different adjustments at smaller values tend to combine much better than a larger amount of one adjustment. |
