 ran a Kubota action on this called "Deep Forest" - seemed appropriate

Beautiful shot! I find it interesting the spaces between the horizontal rails on the bridge seem to have retained more detail (local contrast) compared to outside of the rails. Also the detail (rocks) between the horizontal shadows on the river bank have more relative detail. Also the vertical spaces right next to the darkest trees. Conversely, none of the random shadow patterns have detail next to them. I wonder if that is a quality of the Zoneplate or merely a strange coincidence. I'll have to go back and review some of your other ZP shots. At any rate, I like how it helps to direct the viewers eye towards the bridge in this case.


Actually Steve, the phenomena you observed is more than likely the result of the Kubota action - good observation, by the way! - running the action applied some gaussian blur to the whole shot and then I was instructed to paint back in whatever I wanted sharp - which I did in a somewhat random way - the bridge, some of the rocks, a bit of the trees - basically just fiddled with it until it looked aesthetically pleasing (to me) and not caring one whit about realism :D

Absolutely stunning Karen! - and the picture is pretty good as well ;)

I love everything about this and am suprised you 'think' you have a better shot for the November Free Study! I do hope this place isn't too far from you as I'm sure its would provide many great images :)
