Antenna in Moonshine - Which shot is best?
Hi!
I simply can't decide which of these edits is "best", could you help? :) (Of course, all post-processing, EXCEPT the noise reduction in the last image, has been done using Xtreme :)) (Noise reduction done with Neat Image, which I can only recommend to anyone...)
Image 1: Levels corrected, green LEDs and moon area isolated and processed seperately, moon shot seperately and pasted above with feather
Image 2: Slightly different colors and level adjustments
Image 3: The most heavily processed one - overexposed area around moon replaced with a nearby part of the sky, levels processed with 'Shade curve' live effect, noise-reduced with Neat Image, CCD artefacts removed by hand.
Opinions? Or does the whole thing suck?
P.D.: Too bad it reduced to 800x600 :(

If I had to choose, it would be #3

I like #3 but maybe a little more post processing as shown in the attachment.

Soquili: Heh, funny. Actually, that would be *less* post-processing, because you undid most of my Shade Curve in your version :)
I tried to emphasize the shadows a bit so that the contrast isn't that high, but that probably makes the image a bit 'muddy' color-wise and destroys a bit of the 'atmosphere' ... well, I wanted to make it viewable even with the lights on! :)
