Nice job Jim. I think I like the first one of the duplicates, all are good the first is best, at least for me.

Time to get back to painting.

Is Sunday going to be nice? Maybe we could get out mid afternoon. Home shortly after twilight.

Don't you love it when they ignore you? Great capture Jim!

With your permission, might I tweak the first image a bit Jim - is that OK? I see some potential in that shot and if you're OK with it, I'll post or send to you. It's minor but I believe you'll like it.

Regards,
Marc

Here's my final treak Marc. Going to to interesting to see what you come up with. JIM

I can post what I've done here - very quick changes:

It's minor tweaks and resolving the head/bill detail a bit more, while brightening the white head markings but not blowing them out.

All I did was a minor Levels adjustment with an Unsharp Mask.

Thoughts?

Too funny, I did the same thing as you on this one. I think I will continue to work on this aq bit. Thanks Marc. JIM

Thanks. Funny, Marc, this will make you feel good. My daughter likes your the best! I do like itg but I perfer the slightly darker approach. Give me a day to play with and I will post my next tweak. Appreciate your help as always. JIM

Hi Dave!

Sorry Jim that your daughter thought mine was better! Yes, I'm always about color/contrast. I thought it would be a nice change from the series to lighten it up a bit since the whites (in my mind) on the head markings needed a brightening or boost in Levels adjustment.

*Jimbo* · 10-30-2009, 08:58 PM

Way to go Marc. Now you have me going in two directions! JIM
