This really has a great look to it. I love the bit of yellow on the doors and the yellow on the shopping cart. ~dtallakson

Thank you, Paul. :) ~ Lonnit

Really like the contrast between the bright flowers and the grungy background. The diagonal lines and the the slight perspective compression from the tele works well here. Nicely seen! - Paul

Thanks, CJ. :) ~ Lonnit

This works well for the challenge Lonnit and the processing here has a softer look than the Lucis PP which fits the subject. Nice contrast of the beautiful flowers against the grungy metal building. CJ

I'm afraid I can't help you there since I've never used the software. I use Lightroom to achieve the look. -Doug

I didn't give the colors all that much punch. Funny you mention the Lucis look because I can't get my Lucis to work in CS4. This was done via other means. Any ideas on getting Lucis to work again? ~ Lonnit

I've grown to like your, dare I say, "Lucas Like" technique with pushed vibrance and blacks. The enhanced yellows and blue tint of the garage door are great. The photography purists may not be as keen on the processing as I am but they should still notice the strengths photography speaking. -Doug

It is a fairly processed image but I think it's still pretty zenny. :) Thanks, and thank you, Penny. ~ Lonnit

nicely thought out. Penny Street

Nice street scene Lonnit. The processing seems more minimal here which I find more agreeable with a feeling of zen.

LOL! Couldn't part with the blooms so I trimmed a bit off the stems. :) ~ Lonnit
