Thank you so much, David, but how I am supposed to believe your words after seeing your photos?
Keep up the great work.

Congratulations, I am sure you will be happy with the 645d, the past 1.5 years with it has been a blast for me.

What a set of fantastic images you got there, Dominique, I also started reading your articles on the IMPress, fantastic work.

Obviously you have more than enough skills to call yourself an 'expert' at image retouching. Interestingly that version looks a lot like
what I took with 'a bit too strong' GND filter. The reason for that was to overexpose the shadows for better details and put them back
into the proper 'zone' later in the processing. I usually try very hard to remember the scene and its overall 'tonal distribution' while
taking shots and that's why decided to darken the foreground based on my memories. But I totally understand what you did there
and why many people actually prefer your version.
