I was thrilled to get This!
Right around the time of the end of good old boys doing what they wanted to do.

This one gives an idea of how big an F-14 actually was. They are all retired now.

With a rural district just over 60 square miles, interstate on one side, major 4 lane highway on the another, and 60 miles by air to the trauma center, these guys get a lot of activity in our area. We've landed them in the middle of the road, in the medians, in pastures, you name it, these guys have never let us down. One that I revisted, to edit.

The cloning behind the copter is pretty obvious. What did you take out?

No cloning was done, nothing removed, nothing added. I ran it through a custom action in PS to bring out more detail on the helicopter, the clouds, and the rotors. The trees came along for the ride. Despite the clouds in the background, he was sitting down in a clear area, that playing havoc with the reflective surfaces on the chopper. Normally I might have masked the trees to put more emphasis on the chopper, but I didn't have time. If you're referring to the blurry area just above and behind, that's what the exhaust/heat coming off a turbine looks like. If you look closely you can see it going all the way down under the tail toward the ground, from the prop wash.

Hmm, that's bizarre.

Nope, that's how much detail this action can pull out of an image, that might not otherwise be visible, or in this case accentuate what's there by recovering little things.

No, I mean the heat thing. I swear it looks just like a bad spot healing job, but I believe you. I've seen it elsewhere, just never so pronounced.

Ultra sharp Smoke! I love the rotor blur.

Thanks Dean. I retrospect I wish I'd moved just a bit to get a different angle so they were better matched.

Did you add the sunburst or was that a bonus you got too?

Nothing added, nothing deleted, only enhanced.
