Took a cruise on a small boat all through Prince Edward sound and some of it's fjords. Here's a couple from 2005 that I have reworked using Topaz. I really like them both, but favor the second only because of the pink fog/clouds. Comments always appreciated and respected. Al

Love the first on Al. Seeing a little noise in both.

Thanks for looking and commenting. Your right about the noise, but I took it as far as I could go in the Topaz noise removal without softening the details too much. Any one have any suggestions?

I doubt it will show in print Al. But that first one is really nice. The reflections are awesome.

Can you link to the originals? Maybe someone else has time to spare to PP them, to see if there is any room in them for some correction.

Great shots, I especially like the one with the reflection also, it gives it some extra depth.

Even though both are awesome pictures, I love number 1!

Very nicely done! I was there a year or so ago. What an amazing place. Those seascapes look familiar!

Like the reflection shot, but it seems that Topaz had a funky effect on the second image...

Spectacular scenery and the composition of #1 is really good. I agree with the noise comments, especially in the sky and the second one looks a bit too processed IMO. Looks like a great trip Al!

So much to learn, so little time.
A few worthy shots

Thanks to all for the favorable comments. I'll keep trying with these two to perfect the noise and "overprocessing". Al

Select the sky and do noise reduction on it. There isn't any detail you need to preserve in the sky. I like the reflection shot.
