Thanks Derek, tried the curves in PS 3 a little more gentler...

Great detail in there that we usually don't get to see! :-)

Patrick, you got a winner there, that's really cool looking. Marc

Thanks Trevor, I could have run the curves up in PS3, more contrasty, but the dynamic range would be narrower, so left it 'bit brighter'. I generally use my canon 30D Hap Griffin mod on this but like the live view in the 50 D. Have to give M8 a try with the modded canon.

oh my...tons of detail...f4...did you dim it significantly? Love this object. Kinda imagine it all mean, violent and chaotic...but this take seems more ghostly, cold and distant. Nice take on this, will be hard for me to look at this object the same way again.
