Murray Swift
Very effective here and other images in your gallery.
I was intersted in your comment that you use Lucis for the post processing as I have just been reading a forum where the developer of Lucis was trying (unsuccessfully) to justify the outrageous price for the plug-in :)
John Vandeven replied
Thank you very much Murray.
It is a very nice program.
Appreciate your visit and comments.

I have a keen interest and favourite leaning towards HDR and Lucis rendered images … you have this down to a fine art … I like it a lot … the final result takes some skill and trial and error … too much or too little … you seem to have just the right effect. Congrats …
John Vandeven replied
Thank you very much for your praise.
I have experimented a lot with Lucis and various effects can be achieved.
I’m leaning HDR methods.
jude walton
What a terrific effect :)
John Vandeven replied
Thanks very much Jude.

Top stuff John.
John Vandeven replied
Thank you very much.
Jennifer Ferry
Very Norman Rockwell….impressive indeed.
John Vandeven replied
Thanks a lot again Jennifer.
Jon Johnson
I agree, very Norman Rockwell-esq. No disrespect to Mr. Rockwell, but he had the luxury of manipulating his subjects as to placement, expression, etc. Excellent timing on capturing the moment perfectly, equally excellent post production work. Nicely done. Outstanding piece.
John Vandeven replied
Wow….Awesome comment…Thanks very much.
