Love that pic, monkey-man!

Very nice indeed, though I think I would have liked a longer shutter.

Well, stop playing with your pickle then

Pickle stuffing is a long in depth procedure and takes about 17 minutes each. It took me 30 minutes a piece today to stuff the pickles and I only finished 8.

That's right, stop playing with that pickle and gobble it up already!

Thanks... I used to like the cast, but there are times that I want to remove the cast and its pretty damn difficult

to get the cloud movement? I think I will need about 30 second or so if I want cloud movement that time coz it was pretty calm

Honestly, the lens is better without it... if I were to downgrade to the 70-200 f/4 IS, I would NOT be using it with TCs. I would strictly be using the lens for its intended zoom range. Then again I've already got a 300 prime I use TCs with

the TCs are not that bad. for $250 it helps out with the reach :P

Colors are fantastic in it. I'm curious though, when you do all that PP, what exactly do you do?

It would take a few pages to explain but, I'll give you short summary.

1) The RAWs that I choose for the blend is critical. I only do minor adjustments in LR and fix everything later( distortion, dust spots, etc.)
2) First is always WB and CA( if it's present). That is the only thing I correct since I can adjust the colors, hues, etc. later.
3) Next take it into PS and layer the three images one of top of the other.
4) Next, I use layer masks to blend in each image and brush in what I need. This is very tedious. If you're not patient with painting and blending, it's not going to be fun.
5) On top of that I add more adjustment layers. Contrast, sat, etc.
6) Once I get the image the image done to my liking, I check each layer to see if there's any fine detail that needs work. After that I merge into one.
7) After that, look at the entire image and fix any distortion and clean up the dust spots.
8) Reinspect the image at 100% crop to make sure I didn't miss any more dust spots. I know. I'm pretty anal.
9) If I need more adjustments, I'll usually add more contrast to give it more pop.
10) The final step is sharpening. I have different presets for web and various print sizes.
That's it. It's difficult to explain my workflow bcoz' it's not set in stone.
