You got me trying these lighting effects. Fun stuff. Filter/rendern/lighting effects. Used Omni and made the color a little golden. Here are the results.

Great stuff here Paul!

Try using more than one light on some of your images also.
For instance, you could use a golden yellow type light for the bottom of this one, and a light blue up top for the sky.
You can even spotlight one area, then use another light on another part of the image and set it to a number under 0 which will take away light, and so on.
A whole of things you can do in there, and fun to play with.

Thanks for posting this one Paul!

I remember this shot and it was great as is Paul. Whats interesting here, is how the point of focus has been highlighted and extremely well at that M8t. Amazing what its done to the feel of this shot. Fine use and work Paul :)

stunning shot. I think it would look pretty cool in B&W as well
