They seem to suit the Christmas theme with your choice of colour. The first works better - a bit of interest there with the angle, the pusher and another pedestrian behind the mother.

If you zoom in to 100%, you will see the changes you make more easily, especially around sharp high-contrast borders.

The 'Alt key' works for all of the sharpening tools, so try that so that you can see what the BW mask shows you.

As to CA, the best way to find out is to work on an image which has, say, dark branches or leaves against a bright sky for eg. Look carefully at the edges of such objects, especially if they are near the image borders.

You may find either purple fringing, or alternatively some red/green or blue/yellow shadows there. The CA sliders help to reduce these (less effectively so with PF in my limited experience), and generally do a fairly reasonable job.

George nailed it I think Tim - the angle does it. Along with the processing.

Welcome to your new camera - a nice piece of kit that. Hopefully we will get to read your thoughts on it when you've had a chance to get to know it.

If these shots are any guide, you're well on the way. What shines through for me is the consistency of your 'eye' for these shots.

Indeed there are Barrie - lots of them! Thanks for posting the link.

G'day and welcome.

Well deserved David, congratulations, and to Hyram & Jon also.
Apologies Glyn, as one of the 'shirkers' - it was nought to do with your topic which was fine (as was the judging of couse).

Well done to the HCs as well.

This'll be one to paste into the book as the first K5 entry to win a comp David?

G'day and welcome - Smudge, and Chrissy21 as well.

Goodness Tim, I thought the wheelbarrow might have come in quite handy!

G'day and welcome.
