You're doing well with your new kit Kevin. I'd love to help with your editing. If you have the original, if you want to, post it up and I may be able to offer a few hints to help out with your work flow.

Thanks Kevin. This was done with a luminosity mask on a curves adjustment layer, sharpened and desaturated.

Interesting,might try tht with some other pics,see how I go.

Luminosity masks are a great way for adjusting the i,age Kevin. I have an action that will produce all the luminosity masks - if you want it let me know. Plenty of tutorials on how to use them to really make your images pop.

Interesting the colour differences It looks as if the original is just missing a little brightness? Nice picture though.
