Another great leaf shot. Your PS skills are getting better. Only niggle is the halation on the leaf edges (especially at the top). Either a bit too heavy on the sharpening or the B & W

Mic,

I assume that you make the selection, then you go to quick mask (q on the mac) and put a gaussion blur on the selection?...

If so, make sure that after you put the gaussion blur at the right level, before exiting quickmask mode, go to levels and choke the selecion with the middle slider, it places the point of blurring to the background on the edge that you want it on. Hope that this helps. Let me know if this confuses you completely.

This shot is already great.

But it would just look amazing if you fixed the edges.

Great job!

Thanks Monty, :wink:

Thanks Glen, :wink: I'm now a Fox Head Specialist as well :roll:

Thanks Oneputt, They are indeed, but this is a Critique Forum and I need the big stick very often to tame my wayward ways.

There is Master Stubbsy, Master Chris, Master Kerry that I would just love to have a snap of their expression when my images flash on their Monitors. Hee heee :) :) :) :)

Cheers all.

Whats next for me in this great big world of Photography.

Mic. :wink:

I think these leaf photos you keep showing us provide some sort of hidden meaning...pills, leaves, plant, weed... ;)
