This image is actually taken about 1 year ago from my last northen finland/norway northern lights chasing trip. Desided to test out how much more i can edit it now that i am using dxopureraw on my workflow. Turned out, that the amount of rescuing colors got even bigger to finally have the atmosphere right from the night. Couple weeks and off to a one week trip to norway this year =)

I love DXO, been using it since 2008 or so. I'd have to do a more recent comparison, but DXO has historically had the best IQ for a postproduction software.

Discounting perhaps specialized software that only focus on one thing like advanced sharpening or enlarging. But for just normal images and noise reduction and overall IQ. It's hard to beat.

Yeah, tested out topaz labs stuff....didn't like but dxopureraw was simply love after first test =)

Just when I thought I might have a sporting chance at this.:)

That's an awesome shot Jonathan!

Tullaun Castle (The Black Castle) in County Tipperary.
Located in Coolbawn, County Tipperary, the Castle dates back to 1570 when Dermot Kennedy was the first recorded owner. According to current owner Sonja Bergin – “it is a Kennedy Castle in Kennedy Country“! John, William & Rory Kennedy were the last Kennedy owners in the 1640’s.

It was difficult for me to resist to Brant’s fluffy bird, but I’ll go with Jonathan’s Hail to the Chief for its great subject. Honorable mention to Kari’s always fantastic northern lights.
Great stuff everyone, it’s always nice to look at your pictures.

Congrats Jonathan! That was an awesome shot and well deserved win.

Wow thanks! By coincidence, Brant and I spent a few hours with him this morning! So prepare yourself for more shots of that handsome dude. The elk, I mean :)
