Some improvement, I like the cropping more. I think you've gone a little too flat in the rendering. It's lost some of the richness and sparkle of the first rendering. A little more contrast, a little deeper tone is where I'd try next, with this as a starting point. It might well be better to move to a monochrome rendering entirely and tone it since the light is predominantly a monochromoatic red and yellow anyway. fun stuff. :-) Godfrey -- 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.
