David, that shot of Zuni is spectacular.

I was out feeding the mosquitos tonight and shot this from the front yard. Canon 70-300L + Kenko 2x TC. ISO 100, F11, 1/125 sec. Manual focus with live view at 10x. In hindsight I should have upped the ISO and grabbed a faster shutter speed, but such thoughts were far from my mind. All I could think of was getting back in the house while I still had some blood left in my veins.

Yes, but I won't be seeing it. Isaac is coming and it's already clouding up.

Like that one a lot Steph, nice light, great image.

Steph...really like the shot, and concept. And I don't do this type of photography/post processing enough to know what I am talking about, but I wonder if you could remove some of the blemishes and somehow smooth the skin tones. Not much as I like natural feel to photos.

But the suggestion isn't meant to take anything away from the shot, I could easily see going with it as is.

Thanks!

@Kayaker72: I agree with you and I already got rid of the piercing with PS. For the rest, I would have gone further as you suggested but the mother liked it that way with her "imperfections". I find a lot of people don't like too much retouching. I'm a big fan, even though not an expert, as I'm still amazed at the result you can get with a 30-mins PS session.

Took a few shots of Bo on the weekend, so you guys will have to suffer through them again.
