Ciprian, I surmise that the first one had the adjustments made. I like it better, though both are beautiful.
Both files are very large, though, and almost completely fill my 1200-pixel-high 24in monitor. For the sake of people using laptops (and phones!), it's good to keep pix to about 700 pixels high, 120 pixels/inch, and about 250K overall.

Hello there! (I hope to keep this mail short...) Two weekends ago during a rainy day I was out photographing. Unfortunately I didn't got too many photos, and none that I'm too glad of. However I found one that during post-processing made me wonder about how visible or heavy my "retouches" are... Thus I would like some help in this matter: do you think I've overdone the "fine touches"? http://data.volution.ro/ciprian/bdf753de58c560bc/747077f330c992ad-a.jpg http://data.volution.ro/ciprian/bdf753de58c560bc/747077f330c992ad-b.jpg For comparison I've included the two variants of the same photo above: one obtained with a simple `dcraw` from the RAW (auto white-balance, etc. plus resize), and the second one my "retouched" variant in RawTherapee. However I won't say which is which just to keep the experiment unbiased. (But just don't peek into the Exif info.) :) Thanks, Ciprian. P.S.: I must note that by "post-processing" I mean just raw conversion in RawTherapee with LAB touches, sharpening and noise reduction. No tone-mapping and other "color" madness. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] 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 [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
