I recently started using Nikon's - View NX2. I also started shooting in RAW format. I always shot in JPEG, but now I understand the power of RAW. This image was taken as a JPEG and edited with View NX2 and Irfanview and GIMP. Why 3 different programs? Because each one of these does a few things really good. I'll be posting some RAW before/after shots in the near future. Hope you like this one.

Royal Bloodline
Her Majesty.. Pumpkin
We rescued her when she was just a kitten. We found her (or should I say she found us?) at Fortescue NJ. She has the most beautiful markings. She often sits with her front paws crossed.

The Face of God
This is the image as it was captured from my camera. This was taken looking west. The figure in the cloud only lasted for a few brief moments and was gone. God communicates with us on a daily basis. Are we watching and listening? Allow him to really open your eyes so that you can begin to really 'SEE'.

Shadow Games
An attempt at selective de-saturation. Starting with a color shot I desaturated the entire image first and then added a layer mask. I then used the paint tool with white to paint back in only the portion of the cat which extended past the curtain's edge. I lightened the eye and saturated the colors. Hope you like it.
Awakining
I used gimp to bring out the light in the center portion of the flower. Early morning light gave this flower good light yet maintaining the detail in the flower'. In about another half an hour, all the dew drops would be gone.

Stay With Me Tonight
You only need look in your own backyard for inspiration. That magic light was shining so wonderfully on our heads of wheat. I underexposed to really bring out the sky details. I also adjusted the curves and saturation. This was one of the better images captured tonight.
