On Steroids

I really enjoyed this one, made a few attempts and finished with this.  Seems a bit noisy. I can see many possibilities for this type of application. I assume Mike, that most of these photos are from your latest trip over.

Yes, we did a trip to Taiwan, Singapore, and Cambodia last December.  It's more fun to use new images, though there are a number of older images that are equally worthy.

Nice colors.The details are odd.Some are sharp,the dragon,red fox and some seem smeared.Is that  the mask or what happens when you send a screen shot with compression and whatnot?GregM

Screen shot and compression may contribute, but I did have problems keeping detail in the roof tile at the bottom.

One easy way to get smearing on this image is to over-saturate the colors.  This happens first in the magenta areas.

I noticed it, But until I really zoomed into the image during my practice with it I had a hard time stopping it from happening.  If you go deep into the image until you can really see the details; the magenta smudge really stops you during the adjustment...same with the Green...I had mine zommed into the face and headress of the guy...

As long as you smudge all the colors by about the same amount, it will all come out in the wash when you fade out the adjustment.
