Outstanding composition and coloring and textured contrasts Denny. This has the look of HDR work. If not, it's even more amazing and if so, would you mind sharing what program you used? #6315455

Denny E. Barnes August 15, 2008

Thank you ever so much Dale! I did boost the color and saturation some and used unsharp mask until I got the look I wanted. This was done in PS CS3. The original picture was dull due to the lighting, so I increased the color to brighten it up some....Denny #6318358
