Many thanks for your kind words... will take note of that good tip.

heh. as i am known to allways overdo that (my final result is allways darker than most people like, and simpler), i guess it should be easy for me

something like this?

web-sg101185-ufr2

though maybe even this is a bit too "complex" for the definition

or, for "the whole mile", this:

web-imgp2840-dk

dantuyhoa: i like the first quite a bit, but it looks waaay oversharpened to me

(the hallo's on the branches are huge). maybe a postprocessing glitch?

dantuyhoa · 03-06-2008, 04:41 PM

I didnot do any sharpen . Could be the contrast ?? Perhaps I will play with it abit more . I'm still learning on PP .Thanks for the advice .

I love the style. It gives a mysterious feel to the scene, even classy at time. Is he playing a piano?

Maybe this is an example. Just a beam of light in the right place.
