I love this one! The colors and just having it dead center in the composition works.

Looking good so far Lisa. I have an older copy of the 180/2.8 and was considering using it (alone) for this month, but with the days getting much shorter it would have been a struggle without carrying a tripod everywhere so I am eagerly watching your thread to see a little magic. Impressive!

Topaz? No fair. I was thinking of submitting a Topaz pic, too. You beat me to it :Curved:.

Thanks to your light hand, Topaz Adjust enhanced this picture nicely. Now it just needs a slight adjustment of the tilt to the left.

thanks Frank...yes I thought it might be tilting slightly last night..I will fix that sometime today thanks for confirmation on that, and you only have yourself to blame for the Topaz....you started it LOL

I really like the shot of the dog. I'd never seen such a human expression on an animal.

Love the colors on the lionhead water thingy pic. What is a topaz adjustment?

thank you, it is a photoshop plug in that you can get right now for $39. You can do subtle adjustments or more cartooney ones like Lucis...there are 2 threads started by Uncle Frank with more pics of the processing.

the antique treatment of the stayue really works for me.

I like what you did with the statue. The antique treatment works!

Day 2-Fall in the Concrete Jungle

Today is Fall in the Concrete Jungle. A slight Topaz adjust was used on the pictures to bring out the rust hues in them and give them that urban feel.

It was fun today to only use 2 lenses and walk around with such a light bag, definitely a learning experience in terms of framing and such.

I love #1. The shapes, the water and the birdy. Still have no clue what topaz is.

 

[lr0868]

Craig...yes they have all been run through Topaz adjust

Thank you both for the feedback

 

[DrJani]

Nice series of shots. The second to last is my favorite. Reminds me of Star Wars.

 

[Bluth_Fan]

Wow, #2 is amazing! Sheesh...maybe I need to get Topaz Adjust :wink:

 

[chewbecca]

oooh, these are all excellent, Lisa!
My faves are 3, 4, and 5!

Very nice series. I'm a sucker for leaves this time of year. Is the "topaz" adjust a preset you have? Is it a plug-in to PS?
