Thanks, you know this is the first image that i used an S curve on.. and man what can i say.. it just blows you away, the effect of the colors after that adjustment is so strong. its like before i couldnt get the impact i wanted from an image, and 2 consecutive images wouldnt look the same way after PP, but now i discovered the Nirvana Very Happy

That first shots really stands out. Can you post what application you used for adjusting the S curves.

Nice colours and composition. The noise can easily be dealt with using good software and a bit of patience, so no problem there. Smile

I love the colours too. Did you use extension tubes or just the lens on its own?

thanks friends! i used ACR (adobe camera raw) for all adjusments, S curve, and noise redution as well. Smile

this is the starnge thing for me, that after noise reduction the big picture looks quite good (very little noise like iso 320) but the smaller ones exadurate that noise quite a bit
