Outstanding composition and coloring and textured contrasts Denny. This has the look of HDR work. If not, it's even more amazing and if so, would you mind sharing what program you used? #6315455Denny E. Barnes August 15, 2008
Thank you ever so much Dale! I did boost the color and saturation some and used unsharp mask until I got the look I wanted. This was done in PS CS3. The original picture was dull due to the lighting, so I increased the color to brighten it up some....Denny #6318358Lynn Haack September 01, 2008
