At least there's no pretence at an accurate representation of a flower here - really like these as well!

Hi Lenny

I took the liberty of copying the first image and having a play in Picture Window Pro.
I used its registration tool to remove the cyan fringe and then masked the centre section and applied a selective Advanced Sharpening Mask and then a touch of brightness curve to the overall shot.
Hope you don't mind.Comment Image

Love these! Some digital art at its best IMO; and thanks too for the 'how to' guide (not that I have time to have a go at present!)

Terrific set of images David - very interesting. Have only ever seen the finished item before now.
Thank you for sharing!

If you want to get an idea of what various frames and mount sizes and colours look like without having to buy loads and wasting money, you could try using Picture Window Pro - a photo editing programme that is not only very versatile, but has a mat & frame function that allows you to play around and view it on screen.

Hope that helps!

Nos 3,5 and 7 for me too. Don't know whether it is the subjects or the lens; the others are all with the Tamron! I have to say that 35-70 does give impressive results - certainly in your hands!

Hmmm... I wonder if you could remove the cyan fringe - do have LR and use the dropper selection tool? Or A.N.Other programme?
Also possibly try a sharpening brush across the face of the moon - away from the shadow lit craters that are already sharp. Not sure if a bit of noise reduction would help or make things too mushy. Just my thoughts!

Pretty impressive as even though hand-held you had a approx 1/focal length for shutter speed, nevertheless I am sure that I 'shake' a lot more than that rule!
