Thanks for the vote on Tempest Doc. It is tonal mapping in Photomatix. I haven't grasp the mapping in PS yet as learning how to manipulate it from a book is confusing somewhat for the computer non-saavy. But.. working on unlocking the secrets.
Thanks for your vote on Clutter. This was posted with strickly humor in mind as I didn't even bother to take this to Photoshop to clean it up. Appreciated..!! BTW.. tilt is my specialty as I was once a "pin-ball wizard".. :)
Thank you for you feedback on "Welfenmünster - Interior". I'll try to post another version the next few days, taking into account the suggestions regarding contrast and colours.
