Since I am an artistic photographer, I love HPP on photos. I can see boring with my own eyes, I want to see the MOOD behind the shot! This is nice, very nice pp work, lots of drama here! What a beautiful place! Someday! I hope to get there!

Hi Daniel.

This picture is simply beautiful. The composition is great and the Topaz processing very effective. I installed it but didn't play with it yet. It seems I miss something. ;-)

Hello Daniel,

Fabulous!
This looks like a colour plate out of an old book such as 'The Lost World'.
You have created an atmosphere of mystery and anticipation!
Well done.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Beautiful image.

I cannot believe the amount of detail you were able to achieve from the original.

Must have a look at that Topaz software.

Cheers,
Jens

Hi Daniel
What a change from the original, you turned it into a painting. I have seen a few posts from topaz and was not all that impressed with the results but this is different as the results are great. Must have a look at this program.

Hello Daniel, still recognisable for what it really is,but with your PP work it has become a work of art!
I love the effect you have achieved.The colours are perfect especially with the fog adding some mystery over the rock faces.
Linda is right, there is drama in this shot.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Looks like you are enjoying and becoming an expert with the Topaz Adjust software. I like how you brought out mood and detail without going too far. It's interesting how the Topaz Adjust seems to use the underlying whites or negative blacks within the image. I also like the original for its natural look. Your eye for composition has succeeded again:) Top notch!

Hi Daniel,
Impressive work on this photo!
Despite the HPP, this landscape looks so naturally! I particularly like the soft blue tones which makes a superb coloured harmony with the brown silhouettes of trees. Excellent rendering of the mist!
Beautifully done! Annie

Wow. The filter definitely managed to bring out the colors. Comparing the original to this version, it's hard to believe they are the same photo! Looks really good.

Hi Dan,
It's beautiful.
Quite a different image than the original, much more powerful.
Kind of like a soft focused Ansel Adam's shot, but in color - if that makes any sense.
Great processing work.

Hello Dan,

I am a bit out of sequence, and late in participating in various Friday's themes. This one is indeed very spectacular.

A natural environment, artistically post processed . i see it very well printed , in large format for resale in the Park Boutique. Superb work,
Bravo!
Robert

Hi Dan,
Sorry for not being more present on the site , gosh my hard disk failed ( my slave too ---a wreck --), had a new one ( this time bigger ) put in and furthermore took me a little while to download all my usual and favorite programs all this while working 50 hrs/week ,hey ,,,, i am back !
Good job with Topaz here though you restrained from too much processing --half way hum hum can't imagine all the way over , lol ,i really like it just as is ,,, good details overall , looks like HDR but i know it's Topaz , great manipulation my friend, a most photographed attraction in this part of California i reckon but still you have got one excellent version here ,your own ,
Tfs this place with us,
Carol
