So I'm wondering, does one EMPTY Comment make me eligible for the No Comments in a challenge ribbon?

The topaz tools were just starting to be used when I left here, and I don't really know a lot about them. I think I get a discount through NYIP though...

Which ones are worth the price?

tough lighting situation. You did a good job keeping the shutter speed up, but I think it's time for you to go download a trial of Topaz DeNoise.

Thank you Cory.

I need to find a mini reflector maybe.... Can't see carrying around a big 4' one at the zoo. People think I'm crazy enough as it is :)

A clear improvement over yesterday's shot.

This looks smooth and nice - I do think a bit more DOF would have been nice, something like f/3.5 or so maybe?

I've found that using some artificial lighting, or at least a bounce reflector, really makes a huge difference with flowers like this - giving them a dark background and really making them pop.

I'll have to check on the filter, I know there's on on that lens, but it may be just a haze filter. And I JUST learned the trick about turning it!
