I also ran it through PS CS2's reduce noise filter then smart sharpened it some. I found Noise Ninja produces a better rendering to my eye, just an opinion. Thanks for the advice and constructive critique. I agree, Noise Ninja Neat Image (prefer NN) are vastly superior, but the reduce noise filter is handy at times. I particularly like it for smoothing out skin texture in those shots of the dermally challenged. ;-) Cheers, Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Re: PESO: Adult Cormorant (repost)
I echo what Paul said: it's a bit on the hot side, needs a bit darker rendering. Good shot otherwise! Godfrey On Feb 11, 2007, at 12:11 PM, Paul Stenquist wrote: I like this as well. Again, I didn't see the earlier version. Excellent detail. I might reduce overall brightness a small amount and perhaps burn in the light parts of the head. I don't think the highlights on the head are the result of oversharpening. If it was oversharpened, we'd be seeing artifacts in other areas. I went back to the original RAW capture and re-rendered, this one seems better, the highlights don't appear blown out.

They're both a little too blue/cool IMO. With a levels adjustment layer and individually working on the R,G B channels I came up with this (I hope you don't mind): http://www.arach.net.au/~savage/Misc/5582064-md_DSv.jpg I also ran it through PS CS2's reduce noise filter then smart sharpened it some.
