I used Topaz Simplify to create this image.

Very nice processing and just the right amount for my taste.

Carol, You created a unique look to this one with the filter. Nice work.

This is very nice. I like how the mountains turned out, but I would consider losing the black ring around the moon. It is distracting (particularly in the large photo) and even considering the treatment given to the photo, too artificial looking.

Hmmm, I'm not sure I know how to do that Allen, but now that you mention it, I'd like to see how it looks without the ring as well. I didn't put the ring there - it just showed up when I applied the filter. I'll have to play with the filter adjustments to see if there is a way I can remove it.

This is a great variation on the Tetons. I really like the depth that's added by the foreground swatches of color and how the shadows on the peaks provide more depth. I also like the "splotching" effect. The dark ring around the moon makes it seem like an add in, but I don't know if there's any way to reduce or remove that effect.

I'm going to have to get Topaz simplify. It makes everything look good. This is excellent.
