number 3 works for me as it has a lot more detail along with the mood of the moment and the right amount of contrast.......... on my screen this on e works for me.

The last one is better as it has much more saturation. It is visually pleasing.

Darb - I think 3 is the business mate. You are very lucky and talented, you have a great area for taking some killer shots and you ALWAYS seem to be out and about shooting!! What do you do for a crust?

hi darb correct me if i am wrong -- is the last one #4 the origanal - and the first #1 with a slight contrast fix ..????
i like the first one the best, as it it is just alittle brighter than the last but still looks verry natural with great colours and a nice contrast ......

cool beer :

#4 is pretty much straight off the nef. #1 is certain channels and levels boosted.

#2, #3 are actually a bit of dodge/burn use and saturation tool, ontop of what was already done on #1

heh thankyou ... one of the few times i actually pull out a dodge / burn / sponge tool and selectively modify parts ... usually ill stick to overall levels / saturation. I figure the scene is surreal in any case, and besides which, horribly underexposed.

Then again unless I put ISO through the roof, or went for a 4-5 minute exposure I doubt i'd have easily got a good exposure. A couple of them are intentionally dark n moody... but perhaps a little too much (too risky due to the wind, conditions, and CCD heating, with lack of NR due to not having time to run NR jobs onsite.)
