Trees

Trees that line the water front at Samui Nathon Hospital... not a bad view for a local hospital

The good man is even posting from the hospital. What a guy

Aaah, I, see visiting hours.

Thanks, Pa , I really thought the diversity of colours came out right on this one!

Sharpening is quite tricky, especially since TV tends to do some extra compression to the pics when uploaded and that can introduce sharpening artefacts.

Re lightroom, it has "punch" and "sharpen" presets that can be applied automatically on import, if you really dont want to monkey about. you just have to be careful about the additional sharpening applied during export.

I like that it is non-destructive, but keeps your settings so you can play with the images ad infinitum if you wish.

OK I know these are not trees, but here is a light room edit before and after....

After.... took me a while to find the punch button!

All I have to do know is figure how to export the images in a larger size! 640 x blah blah is too small...

Your beach is gone after your LR edit..

haha i like the first one too.

im gutted, there is the most beautiful tree on the river in vientiane and every time i tried to photograph it the light was either wrong or it had half the population of laos under it seeking shade. maybe next time
