I start to fancy this look. It's a bit of work but worth it.

I was going to toss this shot, but then I noticed that there might be something here. I just regret not seeing this when I actually took the shot. I have no idea what I was taking a shot at. Probably the guy with the cell phone. If I was paying attention, I would have seen the guy playing with his cell phone, ignoring the kid who seem to be fascinated by this guy on his cell phone. Then the shot would have come out a 100% better.

Adding an additional light-source at the right bottom to brighten some parts. Pretty handy and much faster/easier than trying to do that manually.

There was a lot of unnecessary stuff to remove from this photo, but I like the final result. Removing overhead power lines across the field was a pain, but I managed :D.

I was looking for this effect for a while. It's too much work manually but not very hard at all when you got the right tool.

Thank you for the quick reply. That's a great piece of software. I'm windows based but I keep coming across Apple programs that do exactly what I want. Time to start saving for an iMac, perhaps. :-D

Lately I'm glad I got a Macbook. I start to suffer Stockholm syndrome.

I love this sort of thread :)

Heres one of my recent ones - in Lightroom, with far too much use of the adjustment brush!

Sorry, no idea why its so small... Heres a link to flickr (here).

These days I don't bother with noise removal. I load the shot in Affinity and fine-tune it there.

Strange, when you reduced the background noise, the bird got more noise? I know that posts on this forum often look noisy or overly sharp compared to how they looked before upload.
