Kent, looking good for a re-process of a jpeg.
Thanks ... always a shot in the dark for me because I work on two vastly different monitors depending on where I\'m at (old 15\" Thinkbook vs. 19\" LaCie), so it\'s much harder to judge what I\'ve done when I\'m using the laptop.
Paul (Cogitech) is right (IMHO) about viewing distances & output sizes having impact. Also, you can be viewing an image at on size and it seem flat ... then when you crop in to 100%, an element in it can come alive. I think this is strongly related to viewing distance ... so I will view from multiple sizes, to see where / how I\'m doing.
If I\'m \'getting it\' in one view but not the other, I accept that it is probably a viewing distance issue and \'stay the course\' with what\'s working in that view ... not trying to overforce something in a wider / narrower view.
As an aside, I\'m happy that we are now starting to talk about post processing techniques that can a good 3D file even better in post. +1
Delightfully refreshing ... a different piece of the overall recipe for \"Killer\" pics:
Pick your meal (subject, composition & lighting) ... choose your poison (lens & sensor) ... sweeten to taste (pp) ... and serve (presentation).
Repeat ... till you\'ve taken everyone\'s breath away.
