My hubby uses all the equipment and software you've mentioned in your posts. It seems he's alot like you regarding the whole photography and enhancement thing, and all self taught. One thing I've learned is you can no longer count on what you see in a photo as being real. I know this has been professional practice for some time, but since I've watch him create, I see it first-hand. Some of his work

Fortunately, for most here...it's real. I've noticed that a lot of contests have a "no photoshop" rule, but then that makes things difficult if you use PS even to resize to submit. LOL I guess you have to resize in camera first?

But, they also have photoshop contests as well. Very cool stuff there.

I certainly don't want to upset anybody by altering their photos so perhaps I will hold off a bit. Cheers!
I find it interesting to see different people's perspectives on a single shot. Feel free to play with mine anytime I post.... doesn't bother me at all. Everyone will have their own "style".

Tracy, Mike's work is stunning! His HDR work is to die for. Now, if I could pick his brain for a while I would be a happy camper! This is where technique and art are truly separated. I book marked his page. Thanks for sharing! Ron

My ex-wife would always complain if I cut off anyone's head in a photo. So I took her to one of her favorite stores and made her look at all of the billboards and advertisements. And that's why we divorced! Just kidding. :p

I think it looks fine the way it is. It draws me into his expression.
