[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 276097, member: 9240"] Nice photos, and well done with the processing. When I see posts with titles like "First Nik Shots" I brace myself, because I know from personal experience it's easy to fall into the "Wow, that's a cool filter" pit. So, given that another Nik user like Don had to ask what you did in Nik with each, you know you used them properly - to enhance the shot you envisioned and not just to use a filter for the filter's sake. Nicely done. As you explore Silver Efex Pro, make sure you expand the sliders for Brightness, Contrast and Structure. Mine did not expand on their own initially and I didn't realize there were fine tuning sliders under them for a month while I was using it, so I just don't want you to miss out (it's not that I'm seeing something that you [I]should[/I] have used). They are what make that tool so superior to the other B&W conversion tools out there. [/QUOTE]
