That is nice... however having said this, I would point out that on several occasions people have asked if you would be prepared to share how you arrived at an image... and although it is quite conceivable that I missed it... I have never seen a response from you on how you achieved some of your spectacular works.
If indeed you don't care to share, I would greatly appreciate knowing that... it would save me the trouble of looking at your future works for information and inspiration.
Just a thought...

i will try to outline how i do it. but you must understand there are no perfect formulas to every picture.. and small and big tweaking are always necessary..
i almost always start with shadow and highlight and try to create as even and as little contrasted image as possible.. once that achieved i almost always copy this image to new layer with overlay blending mode and adjust this new layers contrast... hue and saturation sharpness.. sometimes gaussaion blur.. sometimes more shadow and highlights adjustment..and i create an artifical contrast that covers an entire spectrum of the picture by using this method and i think that is what makes them look as they do...
and i pretty much never am satisfied with the natural coloring.. i like dramatic contrast along with dramatic coloring... |

Thank you ever so much for the input Theodore, I really do appreciate all the information that I can gather from this site.
Taking into consideration the fact that the art of photography is one that is new to me, I can assure you that I shall strive to put to good use all the insight I can glean from the talented people I have encountered on this site.
