Re: [APML] DWB111 in Color

Superb.

You've done a good job with the star halo colors.

I see slight dark halos around the dimmer stars. They don't detract form the image.

The color/B&W toggle works very nicely for this image. I think you made the right choice about lowering the contrast of the luminance for the color image; the colors are nice; I think it comes very close to film. But I can also see that the B&W has more contrast and shows subtle structure better. Interesting.

Wow, 11 hours!
