We had a great morning run of the Camargue horses today here in Provence.

Here's just a quick examples of how cropping, using the Darken/Lighten filter in Nik Color Efex Pro, as well as the Duplex filter in Nik, turned a snapshot into a more artistic image.

I feel as though image capture is only part of the game. Image processing is the other part – a bit part.

For more on Nik and other plug-ins I use, see my Save on Creative Plug-ins page.

Gear: Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 70-200mm lens. All my gear is listed on My Gear page.
