I actually like the “realistic” version better http://42graphy.org/misc/2020-08-parks/BellFlower_IR04495.jpg To me, the monetized one just looks like you’ve blown out color channels and lost all detail. The monetized version does have the advantage of the background is less distracting. I’d probably start with the original, crop in tight on the flower, drop the exposure one or 2 dB. But it’s not my photo, you should do to it what makes you happy. -- Larry Colen [email protected] -- 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.
