Three from today

Another walk i the woods, a damp and foggy day, my home town.

I used PSC3 (beta) for the first time today, and was pretty impressed.
First thoughts:

• It is far quicker to load than PSC2, manages memory and resources much better.
  
• The interface is cleaner and neater, without the clutter you had in PSC2.
  
• I never used bridge in PSC2, it was far too clunky, even with twin processors, 4GB of memory it was like wading through treacle. With Bridge 3, it's a dream to use, swift and sweet, and all the information you need laid out intelligently.
  
• The strongest point (to date) is the raw processing capabilities. Loads more fine control, particularly over mid-tones,shadows and noise. New are recovery and fill light which are excellent. I have processed a few raw images both in PSC2 and 3, and PSC3, the images are a lot cleaner, the editing is far less destructive, particularly in the darker areas of an image. Noise reduction (luminance & colour)is on par or better than neat image (just my subjective opinion).
  
• You can edit non-raw images (jpeg and tiffs) using the raw interface.
  
• Most of the main interface is familiar enough, although streamlined. and all the tools/functions are easy to hand.

The first one is the clear winner with the most "Les"-ishness. The last one doesn't seem to have your normal high processing standards Les.
PS You also forgot to add the link to the bigger third one.

I think I was more bothered playing around with all the bells and buzzers of PSC3, than the actual processing , so couldn't see the woods for the trees , so to speak

nice colors a good feel of misty damp woods

Hi Les

The 1st pic jumps off the screen.Excellent colour and atmosphere.Very enjoyable viewing.

The 1st one will do me fine thank you very much.
Those bare naked roots create a fg subject beyond anybodys wildest dreams.
Also the clarity (although fogy) and colours of the image are absolutely stunning.

One thing though,that branch on the mid ground should be thrown away,it spoils the clean and neat picture.

Nice shots Les. I wanted to get some fog photos last week. It was foggy three days in a row. But I had to work, then when I am able to no fog.

Nice shots
teh first one is my favourite. very nice Comp

First one for me as well...beautiful colors and detail...also, simple but an effective image.

All 3 look great! Like the colors/fog.

no1 for me ,tripped over many of those roots while trying to get bird pics

Okay... I'll be the odd man out. I love number three. The lonely mystery of the childlike figure off on an adventure into the foggy wood is wonderful. The lack of symmetry leaves me with an even greater sense of unresolved tension. Plus you leave it intentionally unbalanced both in terms of form, shape, texture and color. That's great. Even greater is positioning the figure almost directly on the eastward vertical power line and then sweeping every line in that direction. It's a teasing masterpiece. Thanks for sharing.

What a lovely expression....thanks for that

Another vote here for the third one Les. It's remiscent of a Renaissance masterpiece. You've done it again.

Now for the second one; are the trees really crooked or is the photo crooked? (Or in my state of post-work stupor, am I indeed falling off this chair?)

I like them all, nice location.
