My turn this week with 3 images from a while back. It will be a while yet before it gets like this around here in Ottawa.

Links to JPG version in following post.

Some new rules to play by.

If you are using Elements or an older version of Photoshop and do not have access to the full range of the adjustment tabs and sliders that are available in Lr, you may make up to two additional adjustments in Elements/Photoshop, as long as they are adjusting lighting, shadows or contrast. In other words, not the filter gallery, not Brush strokes, just basic adjustments in image.

If you use a preset, please list the name and a link to the source if you have that information. Also, if you'd like, please describe your workflow.

Enjoy!

And here are the links to the JPG images -

Very nice images!

Kimi,

Thanks. When I first saw this on my monitor I thought "stained glass".

Michel,

Thank you!

Very nice effect, looks like I was out shooting late at night!

And another one.

This started off with Matts City Nights (light), then added the following. Into the Woods!

nice images John, can't wait till I get back to play.

Hi Suzi,

Yes, I know you are travelling and are "out of touch". Cant wait to see what you come up with.

Meanwhile, here is my take on the leaf.

I changed the white balance to Shade and desaturated some of the colours in HSL panel
