Re: Trying again

Hi Mike - that's much more crisp than your last picture. It's, if anything, on the over-contrasty side, though you may have aimed for such a high-key result.

Ah the granite Tor. I think this is a much better effort in terms of contrast and punch. It actually looks a little better in terms of detail when in Photoshop and a little gentle wafting with a largish burn brush set at about 15% seemed to add that bit of extra detail

Re: Trying again

I love the grainy contrast in this shot. It really shows up the weathered stone and the windblown grasses well.
