I love the effects you are getting with PS and layers, the DOF in the first few are amazing. Can you help me out in your processing style?

Hey Muzza. Thanks for the complements and also dropping by ... :)

I use 70-300mm at 70mm for the bird picture.
The rest, 180mm AiS. Hence the DOF. I don't use layers

And as for picture editing, I use LR. Here's how ...
- Recovery, Fill Light, Clarity and Blacks to 100%
- You can even use 'Tone Curve' to do minor adjustments.
- Add Vibrance/Saturation, Vignettes to your liking.
- Use 'Noise Reduction' to smoothen faces. But some folks use other methods.

I hope this helps and please do post your sample edited picture ... happy trying ... :)

Seriously ... what you think of this shot?

This is a typical Street Photography shot. Try it in black and white. I think you'll like the difference it can make. :) One thing I noticed that you should have caught.......there's a tree growing out of that girls head! :)

And by the way....if you would finish off your profile with where you are on the planet, the gear you use (camera, lenses, etc.) that would be great. It helps us in helping you. Thanks.
