I see the Orton bug has bitten you, ! It's really fun to play with, dare I say, but don't overdo it?:D

Tom, really neat.

I had to look up to see what an "Orton" shot was.

So you inspired me! Click here if you want to see my attempt (i won't hijack your thread).

Lovely Image Tom, I'm quite taken with this effect too, it really suits certain images and I think you've picked good candidates.

I liked the effect too so went searching for the process. Found this:http://www.pcin.net/update/index.php/2006/11/01/the-orton-effect-digital-photography-tip-of-the-week/

Nice work Tom and John.

here's a link to a video for a more complicated, 3 layer orton technique.

What it gives you is the ability to maintain the sharpness in selected areas of your shot using a layer mask.

Three layers---I really like this idea of keeping some things sharp. I will have to watch this a few times to take notes. Thanks for the link .
