[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 241571, member: 9240"] So thankful to @[URL="http://nikonites.com/member.php?u=13578"]wud[/URL] for pointing out the frozen bubble blog a week ago. Did my best to try it this morning and did alright for a first effort (forgot to add karo syrup to the mix). If it stays cold enough I may try again just before sundown. I strayed from my Nik work this time and tried onOne Perfect Effects 8, which I'd bought a while back. It's got a dynamic contrast tool that is extremely good at pulling details while preserving highlights and other things. You need to be able to use layer masks to use it effectively, but I'm really liking the way it pulled the detail from this bubble. I used the brush tool in Lightroom afterward to add clarity to the crystal lines in the bubble, a trick I learned in a snowflake tutorial.
