Like #2. Simple and gives a good feeling.

Personally, it will feel better if the pic had less ground and more tree top.

Very nice shooting :thumbsup:

 

[noobie]

nice pix. did you photoshopped? what lens were you using?

 

[phantasia]

Thanks all! ;p

Yup, photoshop has been applied to almost all the pics. But mostly just adjusting of curves and contrast. I find that photoshop is almost a must for digital photography, it really gives you alot more freedom to do what you want with your pics...eg, soften, brighten, sharpen, convert to monotones, etc.

Most pics shot with a tamron 18-200 on nikon d50.

Thanks!

Here's my workflow for the dreamy effect...
1. Duplicate layer
2. Add Gaussian Blur to 2nd Layer
3. Reduce the opacity in 2nd layer under blending options
4. Apply unsharp mask on 1st layer.

Cheers.
