Kevin, all three of these three links you provided, show; Page Not Found. That's OK, I accept your remarks without question. I will mention the light "halo" bordering the left shoulder of the left elk. We've all gotten many of those things. This being an especially nice image, made me want to comment. Maybe due to color tone adjustment.(?)

I didn't use any portrait tools. The two photos that used HDR were these two http://thornsberry.smugmug.com/Travel/Colorado/Great-Sand-Dunes/i-Dqvkv86/2/ L/_PNK7498_HDR-L.jpg http://thornsberry.smugmug.com/Travel/Colorado/Great-Sand-Dunes/i-4XTr3sh/2/ L/_PNK7502_HDR-L.jpg but I don't think those are the ones you are referring to. For the others, I only used Lightroom v5 and nothing too extravagant on settings, especially in the area of things I would expect to make something look creamy. If this was one that you are referring to http://thornsberry.smugmug.com/Travel/Colorado/Great-Sand-Dunes/i-NgsPScH/2/ L/_PNK7545-L.jpg I used Clarity +18 Sharpening 114 Luminance Smoothing 42 Pretty much all the other adjustments were exposure related. -- Kevin -----Original Message----- From: PDML [mailto:pdml-boun...@pdml.net] On Behalf Of Jack Davis Sent: Friday, October 31, 2014 1:28 PM To: PDML Subject: Re: First Ever GESOs Kevin, I must ask, how do you achieve the creamy smooth appearance in post? I know I'm making an assumption, but it reminds me of a portrait program effect. Beautifully done finish to your work, in any case.

I used to follow the list daily and contribute some, but over time the list changed with a higher percentage of the posts about PESOs and GESOs and my life changed with kids, etc. so I decided I couldn't follow regularly. However this is the #1 best source of information for my Pentax equipment so I periodically check the archives or pop in for a question. When I do, I usually ask my question, get my answer and then turn digests back off and go back to checkimg the archives periodically. However, apparently now that I'm again and can't turn the digests back off until Nov. 1, I decided to join the fun. Several weeks back I was able to spend a few days on a trip being intentional with my photography without making my family stand around and wait for me to do my thing. I like landscapes and nature photography. Every once-in-a-while I wind up with an OK picture on my card but this trip was about being intentional, so I'd like to offer a couple of galleries of my selects for your comment. I was shooting with a K-5 and 3 lenses. the 18-135 WR, an FA* 80-200/2.8 and an A* 300/2.8. http://thornsberry.smugmug.com/Travel/Colorado/Rocky-Mountain-National-Park/ http://thornsberry.smugmug.com/Travel/Colorado/Great-Sand-Dunes/ I used HDR on a couple to get more shadow details Thanks. -- Kevin -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
