Before we move on, I guess it would be nice to hear what michaelblue thought of the variations on his shot. It would help us all to see different points of view and get a little feedback.

Can we post the next image as a new thread please, otherwise this one will get a bit unwieldy.

I don't think I'd be able to advertise some of those offers with a straight face though. Save £3 on a DSLR with lens does seem so irrelevant that it's not worth even offering it. Flucard fair enough, but offers shouldn't, IMHO, look ridiculous.

I love the slightly bizarre language. Compacity? I shall have to look that one up to see if it actually is a word.

Just a reminder that custom dictates that we don't pass any comments on the images until after the judge has judged.

This thread is for questions regarding the competition and clarifications if needed.

I've removed a couple of comments from under one of the images - by all means re-post your thoughts after the judge has judged.

Many thanks!

I think we probably should start a new thread for the next one posted, but let's stick with this here for this one. I've had a go just now and come up with this:

Cropping, general darkening, some local brightness adjustment. Nothing too drastic, but I tried to add a little more drama to a potentially very dramatic scene.

Thanks for sharing that Peter. In those days communication was very different - no internet!

I think we'd like to see a photo of you wearing The Tie!

Then show us how it's done Darkmunk!

Those are big lenses, no doubt because they cover full frame. That 150-450mm is the one for me.

A couple more versions, both done in Photomatix before finishing in Photoshop.

The starting point for these were the presets "Creative" and "Mono 2" - if one of the presets is close to what I have in mind then I'm quite happy to make use of it.

John, I don't understand your logic. What has the time frame to do with anything?
As photographers and Pentax DLSR users, we owe it to ourselves to leverage the best out of our captures by always shooting then developing the RAW.

I wasn't talking about a time frame. I was just saying that once the image has been resized for the forum for us to see what's been done, it won't make any difference whether or not the original capture was RAW or JPEG. That's another debate of course on the larger scale of things, not for this thread, but all we can hope to see here is what people choose to do to the image.
