Very cool. I think the second shot really works for me!

Love that first one! It has a very "Lord of the Rings elvish" feel to it!

Beautiful look, both of these are fantastic, can you share some of your processing secrets?

Thank you very much for the comments everyone !!

The basic workflow on these is: orton-effect>dodge and burn
done in black and white>duotone tint added>NR software added>
USM added>save as

Orton-effect settings (using Nikon Capture NX2) these settings should
also work in PS


1-move the midtone slider in (levels) so the photo goes very light, this
is also a good time to do any healing out of debris

2-using the (gaussian blur) tool, move the radius slider so the photo goes
very blurry

3-go into (blending mode) and select multiply, the photo should go
darker

4-move the sliders in (levels) to set the correct exposure

5-add a tad of USM sharpening to get over the orton-effect


Take care,
Dwayne Oakes
