						|   | SicklyPeople lol.  PEOPLE.  just  b/c  its  in  1st.  doesnt  mean  you  have  to  vote  for  it.  FYI.  you  kno?  if  its  crappy,  or  not  creative...  then  dont  vote  for  it.  (Not  sayin  that  this  entry  is  crappy  or  un-creative  or  anything.................................................)
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | TheShaman i  believe  people  are  voting  for  this  entry  because  of  the  major  clean  up  effort  here  SP....  not  because  it  happens  to  be  in  1st,  its  in  first  because  of  the  work  done...  if  youve  ever  had  to  do  photoretouch  youd  know  how  hard  it  is...  this  is  verywelldone
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | SicklyPeople i  wasnt  referring  to  THIS  entry.  i  posted  here  b/c  its  #1  and  that  =  more  coverage
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | TheShaman i  understand  SP  no  worries
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase Sicklyperson,  would  you  say  that  making  a  comment  here  about  the  top  five  entries  being  retarded  is  a  bit...umm...retarded?  How  will  people  know  that  you  didnt  mean  mine,  which  was  not  in  the  top  five  when  you  made  that  comment  but  is  now?  :P
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase the  thing  that  shocks  me...is  that  tree  stump  behind  the  guy.  I  had  no  idea  it  was  a  tree  like  that.  I  thought  it  was  some  sort  of  evergreen  thing.  its  like  a  whole  new  world  Jerry,  thank  you  ;)
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase well,  its  true.  I  am  shocked.  Im  sorry.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | jerry717 Yes  showcase...there  is  definately  an  art  to  bringing  out  the  detail  that  lurks  in  the  shadows.    But  what  is  even  harder  yet  is  also  making  it  colorful.  I'm  glad  that  someone  noticed.  Thank  you  showcase.  ;)
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | jerry717 sicklyperson...I  only  posted  today  because  I  thought  the  picture  was  gastly  and  felt  a  deep  need  to  fix  it.  making  the  girl  fetch  like  a  dog  was  just  an  added  benifit.  ;)  If  you  find  it  to  be  retarded,  then  by  all  means,  don't  vote  for  it.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | jerry717 btw...I  did  not  use  any  masks  or  conventional  color  correction  techniques  to  fix  this  image.  It  was  all  done  with  apply  image  and  other  channel  blending  techniques.  The  best  way  to  fix  any  image  is  to  use  the  image  itself.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | jerry717 Sickly,  I  don't  know  who  you're  speaking  to  but  if  it's  me...I  didn't  do  any  whinning  or  assuming  and  I  certainly  did  not  ask  for  your  vote.  I  am  quite  surprised  that  this  image  is  doing  so  well.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | jerry717 you're  right  about  that  feral.  ;)
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | TheShaman full  moon  maybe....  Jerry,  this  image  totally  deserves  to  win  brotha...  your  colorcorrection  is  top  notch!  and  for  someone  who  does  this  for  a  living  youve  nailed  it!

						|   | ScionShade Jerry,  Thanks-  I've  been  in  dire  need  of  an  EXAMPLE  of  just  what  the  heck  I  am  talking  about  when  I  say  that  color  correction  AND  image  correction  often  should  be  a  basic  first  step  before  beginning  a  chop.      THAT  said,  of  all  the  image  fixes
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | ScionShade and  sharpening  techniques  I  have  seen,  and  by  all  the  examples  I  have  seen,  you  are  literally  the  only  one  I  have  seen  who  does  it  well,  and  DOESN'T  OVER-do  it.  I  envy  your  skills.Beautiful  work.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | jerry717 Thank  you  very  much  Mr.  Shade...I'll  take  that  as  a  vote.  ;)
