Gregory--in the future, could you put your APAW shots together in a folder, so we can navigate between them easily?
Hey Neil,
Sorry about the stuff up. I had all of my images, both original and edited are in a separate folder in my portfolio titled 2009 Archive Photo a Week. The only problem was that I had created the new folders in my workshop folder. This stupidity has now been rectified. BTW thanx for the comments. The banding in the first edit was created with an iridium filter. I was trying to replicate a previous process and unfortunately failed miserably.
From I assume your 100mm f/2.8. The tight crop, enlarged - reversed, edits are detailed & very good. I especially like the extremely beautiful original for environ and space on it.
Definitley the better of the two edits, though I do find the colors to be slightly on the unnatural side of saturation. Could just be me. Dragonflies are always cool. There's such a variety.
What an amazing transformation. I love the golden color and the bug looks so sleek! I always tell Roz that I hate bug photos, lol, but this one looks pretty cool.
