Love this shot. Great colors, very painterly. Color Efex pro?

Great picture, Al. I think the effects work well here.

Al,

 

Very warm (tone, not the snow ) and strong colors. Really popping. Can you tell a little about how you achieved the colors and crispyness?

I agree with Marco - and I'm curious too

 

All the best

Al -

 

Lucky for you these blood-thirsty presdators are behind a fence.

 

Gorgeous for light, color, detail and depth. Very nice composition.

Thanks Everybody

 

Set the DL 4 to "Nature"

Dropped the shot into Photoshop

Opened the "Tonal Contrast" filter in Nik's Color Efex Pro from the filter menue

The sliders were all set at about +30 except for "saturation"...this was slid to zero

Back out to regular Photoshop and played with sharpness, contrast, and brightness.

 

Hope this is of value, not used to being asked for tips.

Yep .. I'll go have a look at that. Silver Efex is just as good for B&W ...

Hi Al,

 

Stunning image. The colors are fantastic - looks so much like good old slide film (thinking of Fuji Velvia). The snow adds so much to the scene.

Martin, Marco, Andreas:

 

Thank you very much. Your comments are important to me. Am I crazy or are the enhancements produced by these filters very enjoyable to the eye ?

Great image! Love the colours and it is VERY crisp!

Al,

 

You're not crazy (or I wouldn't ask how you got there ). But I'm sure that this works for one picture and less for the next. Some caution is always in order: I wouldn't pop this on every photo.

 

And about the tipping? That's rather fun, isn't it? We learn and we get to share a little knowledge. Giving and taking (or rather "accepting").
