Description


- Motocross -

Canon 100-400L IS at 135mm. ISO 800, Mid-Afternoon, 1/2500 @ f5.0, EC 0 (DD)

I initially processed this with LR5 - I then imported it to PSCS5 and made an Adjustment Layer. I worked the image with Topaz Adjust to get the effects.
I then made a layer mask and painted back the rider. I flattened the image and then made one additional layer for Vibrance and Saturation and pushed the colors a little.

Exif: F Number: 5, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/2500 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 800, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 135.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II

It sounds like you did a lot of work here Jeff, but it was worth it as I love the results. Beautifully composed action scene as that foot is out to make the curve. Colors are gorgeous. I love both versions and think that presenting the scene with more than one version is the way to go. That is something I am doing with my pictures to. Exceptional work Jeff. #11005895
