This photograph really took advantage of PSCS5's new anti-ghosting feature. Without it, the two people would have been a slight blur. It works slick as a whistle. I think that what really made yesterday's photograph were the cloud formations which simply became accentuated in the processing. This photograph was taken less than 5 minutes later, but the clouds already have lost their punch.

MY PERSPECTIVE (this is my response to Curly's comment yesterday) - Before we went to kindergarten, we colored everything we could get our hands on with crayons. In kindergarten, we had access to even more colors. But when we went to school, they told us that flowers were red and leaves were green. Most of us eventually bought into that nonsense. There are many photographers today with that mentality. But some of us, thank God, know better. We choose to use all of the crayons in the box. Flowers and leaves are any color we damn well choose.

NIK'S HDR - Last evening, I attended a sneak peek webinar on Nik's new HDR plug-in that is scheduled to come out the end of the summer. It is amazing and will definitely become my HDR software of choice. Now I can save the money that I was going to put on Photomatix 4.
@JJ: If it were me, I would get the NAPP membership first. The discounts are incredible. It pays for itself at least 2 or 3 times over every year.
@Sylvie49 capture image: Merci. I learned quite a bit about HDR in this Bandon Workshop.
