Both are really nice but i would go for #2 It has better dof imo, at least more functional... The background in #2 is nice and quiet so the subject really gets all the attention. Oh, and you might want to give it a border, if you havent considered that yet just try it and see how it looks :o) Good luck and happy holidays :o) Jeroen

I dont know about the difference between crt, tft and lcd, but a flat sceen in general is much better for viewing than a regular computerscreen imo. They are much sharper.

So sorry for being late here Helmut. Congratulations with the GOTM !!! You deserve it, love your work !!

Ehm... Opposites then... :o)

For me, numbers 1 and 2 are just as good. Imo a setting in between would be best (for my sceen anyways). Btw. i have the same thing some people say my images are dark too, i have a sneaking suspicion that maybe they have their monitors set too dark...

I just dont know what to say except Get well soon Robert ! You are wonderful person and a fine artist. You deserve better than this, i know you are a fighter so i hope to see you back here in good health soon. All the best wishes, Jeroen

Definately Mornings :o)

Wow so much cool stuff here !! I have been away on vacation so its only now that i see this, thanks for starting this part 2 Sheila and Cindy !! And thanks to all of you for making this thread work !! :o)

Thanks Sheila !! Im glad you like this thread, im looking forward to your post here :o) And your work DOES NOT SUCK !! I saw the thread earliertoday but i didnt have the chance to react yet... I believe someone said that the most important thing isthat YOU like your work, it isnt important what others think ! I Agree with that ! As an artist you express yourself and that means you cant please everyone, its just like that. Take care, Jeroen

Patrick, i like your filter very much too ! Excellent crop btw !! Cindy, awesome job on merging these two images !! Must have taken some time... Thanks to you both for joining in :o) Jeroen

Thanks Cindy !! :o) I forgot to mention that i sharpen too, but thats obvious i think... if you resize youll have to sharpen. :o) I can relate to the hassle with scanned images, i shot some rolls of film some years back and scanned them... it was horrible lol But i guess a lot depends on the scanner quality. I can probably get the images out of the cam looking like my postworked ones, because i can adjust the contrast and saturation as in most cams... but i keep those settings on standard because i like to keep my options open hehe I hope to see much more posts here, its really interesting !! :o) Jeroen

Yeah i heard on the news today about Jeanne heading towards Florida and gaining strength. Hope youll be ok Bren !! I agree with Monika and Adrea about feeling stupid about our 'storms'... My best wishes to your dad too !! Take care, Jeroen

LOL funny stuff Doug !! :D

Im glad that you and your family are alright Bren, welcome back ! :o) These are some awesome shots, what a mess !! I just love photo number 7 "You loot, he shoot" LOL :D Like TV i hope Ivan will fizzle out before it hits Florida again !! I havent seen the news yet but it must have done quite some damage in Jamaica. Some season eh ? Three in a month.... Jeroen

I got the email too and wrote back for clarification on some things he said... didnt seem to add up... Anyways i never heard anything from him again. Looks like he emailed about everyone on rr lol I think its some kind of prank, but i just dont understand the motives ... :S
