Nura, hello i think i liked the original better,w/ the extra sharpness came a flat look, perhaps that's what you wanted but the first one gives the impression of depth, almost like a crystal sphere setting in a textured brass bowel, i don't know much but i would run it through noise ninja w/ the softness turned up pretty high, but that's just me. much respect, Foo
Thanks very much for the kind critique, I always welcome helpful feedback!
I agree that the newer version looks flat, and decided early on that the older pic HAD to stay because of its raw softness and depth. I do, however, prefer the coloring of this one
What is the noise ninja, may I ask? Is it in Gimp? I may look into it and experiment!
