I was just playing with the "Digital Orton Effect" (more info here: http://www.pdpc.ca/orton.htm) and quite like what it does for these types of images.
Can you guys let me know what you think?

Hi there,
I was just playing with the "Digital Orton Effect" (more info here: http://www.pdpc.ca/orton.htm) and quite like what it does for these types of images. Can you guys let me know what you think? Original:

Paul,
As much as I like the richer green colouring in a rainforest shot, the effect is way too bright and over-saturated. Would love to see a version with the same effect but a tad less saturation. Cheers Michael
No need to be sorry, That's what happens with most of the images I try to do more than the standard post processing to

Paul,
Definitely better than the first attempt. Still slightly rich but better than the original, in my opinion. Would loved to have been there in person - looks like a magical spot. Cheers Michael
Original by a furlong, great work.

prefer the original. Maybe try it with a pic that's not so outstanding as your first pic

Ha! Great advice Piro and very apt in this instance I reckon. Seems to me a case of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", Paul. It's just too good a shot to play around with, IMHO.  Simon

I like the dreamy, glowing effect of the greenery, but the effect seems to be blowing out the water detail which I think is distracting the viewer... Maybe if the effect was applied to a feathered selection that excludes the water so you keep some detail in the water...?
