Everywhere people with camera's find their way in this world to make their shots. I like the art of taking realistic pictures, because it provides a way to show how I experience this world. It is a way for other people to look through my eyes.Nature ... exists primarily for her face, her look, her appeals to the heart and the imaginationGeorge MacDonaldJan-Carel Vierbergen
Picture courtesy of Ruut WegmanBIOIt is all in the family: love for hiking in the nature. Since my childhood I'm used to walk with father, brothers, cousins, etc., and take pictures (Minolta X-700 with 28-70 mm and 100-300 mm zoom) of what I see. I grew up in Ede (The Netherlands), studied Electrical Engineering in Eindhoven and I am working now as Coordinator e-learning at the Christelijke Hogeschool Ede (http://www.che.nl) where I implement digital assessments for students and assist students in DTP and creating websites.
Since I know little about photographing as well as computer science it was not difficult to find ways for putting images on the web. The only thing to look for now is to find ways for showing the slides in a convenient way. I tried already something at http://www.che.nl/users/jcv (Dutch only, click at Dia's van de natuur in Nederland en de Alpen), but this platform provides good means to share my pictures with others.
I hope you enjoy this!

I don't know what I am looking at but I think 2 and 4 look the best just because the image seems to pop more for me that is they are all really cool though
Apophis906

Good morning JCRR!! :-) Thanks a lot for this dedication! You're putting me to work again ;-) So, here you go: No2, Normal, lost all the original colors, so I wouldn't use this at 100%. No3, Bleach, or Screen, is good for clearing up dark images but not really a good option here. No4, Cover, or Overlay, looks like a good option here, because it enhances the contrast AND the colors, but 100% is too strong, use it at 50-60%. No5, Weak or Soft Light, is also a good option here, probably the same result as using Overlay at 60%. And No6, Luminosity, is a perfect option if you absolutely want to keep the original colors, but enhance the contrast. So, personally, I would duplicate the adjustment layer, use the first one as Overlay at 50%, and the second one as Luminosity at 80%. You better don't change the colors too much here, so I'd go for mainly Luminosity, No6, add a slight color shift with Overlay, No4. That concludes the votes of the Belgian Jury ;-) I'm sure others will have a different choice or solution, that's inevitable. Thanks again, Jan-Carel! See you!

Very interesting your experimentation Jan-Carel, and thank you to Geert too ! It's incredible to see the difference between this 6 possibilities. Difficult to make a choice with only 1 result for me, lol ! I like the 4 and the 6. The 4 maybe for the dark color,very contrasted. But in the last there are all de details, the differents colors and the trasparency too. Then yes OK I vote for the last one ! and that concludes the votes of the French Jury ;o)))) lol ! Something more : I really love this serie and all your experiments Jan-Carel ! Have a nice day my friend. Hugs. V

I like how the ice crystals come out in the Cover.

Like the last one. It is amazing isn't it, how the same picture can be changed at the click of a key !! Good experiment.

I would use #4 to go along with a 'dark' story or poem. Then I would use #6 for a backdrop to a layer image of something else. it's raining outside this morning and I've yet to have my coffee. So I guess I'm in that 'dark' mood right now. I'm glad you're having fun in that program. I've yet to figure out all the neat things mine can do. Thanks Jan-Carel!!

Nr 6, mainly for retaining most of the original colour, #4 would be my choice for most dramatic!
hotracer2
1 is the best, keep most closely to the natural colore and #2 for interesting color and #4 for being dramatic, way to go:):)..V
Laelia
I am in balance between the 2nd and the 4th ones.. Didn't read what others answered So, if i do choose for a single posting I would do, i'd choose the 4th one Great done and excellent quizz, JC ZbX q:)
Chaos911
wow, what a super super work!!!! excellently done!!! :)
TwoPynts
I like #6 the best, with perhaps a 25% opactiy overlay of #5. Great series of ice shots recently, but this one seems the most otherworldy somehow. =]

A very interesting experiment, thank you for sharing.
Luka_30
Very interesting presentation of PS effects. Every one has its appeal.
Punaguy
I think 6 for me as it stays to the most natural of colors, but brings out more detail for me...interesting experiment with contrasting results! Aloha!
soulofharmony

sharky_
6 for me. It preserves the original colors and looks of what you see. Interesting work. Aloha

BertDes
Intresting experiment.
Hendesse
Fantastic and very interesting presentation. For me #2 - the original - is the best but #4 looks excellent too.
