This is a real winner Drew. Love the color, texture and lighting on the ceiling.

Wow...awesome shot! Love the composition.

Both this and your ice spider shot have that special Topaz look to them...

Drew, this and your previous shot are really nice. They both seem to have a HDR feel to them in a pleasing way. Are these HDR?

Wow, this is great. I would say the muddy pants were worth it!

Thanks for the comments guys. This is a big ol' HDR seething full of topaz!!
Posted by TIMERNST2 on January 23, 2010 at 11:43 AM
Yup, that Topaz software has its own special look to it and usually pretty easy to spot. You have been using it in a good way, unlike a lot of folks who just make it look ugly...

Thanks tim, i think HDR and things like topaz are tameable beasts, and i am on a quest to tame them, i'll have slip ups along the way, but for now its my path.

Great image! Neat location and an excellent composition.

Oh, I'm totally going to check out this Topaz software after seeing the subtle effect you've used here. Great image.

Great image Drew! I have Topaz and used right, it can be a great tool.
Mud on your pants is a good thing!
