Hi Pascal
Just used photofiltre to enhance the colours and then sharpened the image up a bit. I also resized it up to nearer the 300kb which helps with quality when viewing images on tl.
Hope you like it
cheers

Hi Kristian
Used photofiltre to adjust levels and then added sharpness to help the texture of the petals and stamens to stand out. I also changed some of the background to grayscale to help reinforce the subject.
I notice its a small kb size (perhaps deliberate) which may affect the quality when viewing on tl - maybe nearer the 300kb mark would help - dunno...anyway I hope you like it
cheers

Hi Stephane
used photofiltre to reduce grain/noise and darkened some of the over-exposed areas e.g. top of head, thumb, book etc. Then I cropped the photo as Cecil recommended. I hope you like it

Hi henryk
I used a free download called photofiltre. It allowed me to adjust the light levels in the sky (a little grey perhaps for you) I cropped out a little more of the sjy and the foreground to help focus on the mountain. I then sharpened the mountain and increased saturation. I hope you like it. I am quite new to Photofiltre so the practice is good for me!

Hi George
I cloned out the two cranes (hmmm argument as to 'should photo show something that wasnt there?') but found them distracting a little. Also cropped a little tighter, adjusted gamma levels, removed some noise and saved at high quality to increase kb size. More experimental on my part as practicing pp. Hope you dont mind and I hope you like it

Hi John
Used photofiltre to adjust the levels, increased the colours and sharpened. Cropped in a little tighter around the subjects to make them stand out more
I hope you like it

Hi peter
Used photofiltre to adjust levels and then sharpened the whole pic. Tried to blend the oe on the back of the lamb but unfortunately this didnt work. OE is hard to get rid of but under exposing is easier to fix. Hope you like it

Hi Siegfried
Have run this through Neat image, a free program (altho beware as you lose exif data) to reduce the noise in the bg. I hope you can see how the bg is more blended and helps the subject stand out a little better. Hope you like it

Hi Luc
I basically just sharpened this and boosted the contrast. I made the light sky with even more exposure to add to that sense of a celestial visit from above. I added a touch of vignette around the edge to add to the mood and a thin black frame.
Just a different perspective - I hope you like it

Hi Jamshaid
I cropped the picture slightly to help the tree stand out. Then I sharpened the picture and adjusted the levels. Added a bit of colour to the sky by adjusting the colour temperature.
Lastly saved at high quality image to increase the kb size to near the 300 limit.
hope you like it
cheers
