Some words about the current picture:

P#479: Shiny sweet little horse.

Yeepeee! A full featured post for today: 4 post-processing steps shown: raw-> clean up(healing)-> shadowing -> lighting -> coloring, and a mini PSD to download (not really mini anymore as it's the same size as the actual post).
There's something special with this mini PSD: it's the last one that will be free. Yes...
All other mini PSD will be given "on donation" (that will start @ 1USD)
Some of you may find this expensive (!!!), point-less, non-sense, lame, crazy etc... if so, be sure to drop a comment on this, find me a good reason why I should'nt do that and please don't be rude. Keep Smiling :D

Have a nice day!

Comments about this picture post:

• Love this. I really like the closeness and slight distortion like it's coming through the screen. The next shot must have been a huge tongue licking the lens. You do something mysterious with color all the time to give things a great quality. I'm going to have to try to figure this out. My pictures still won't be as good, but one step at a time! Great work again!Mike Paulison @ 2009-05-19 22:57:14
• Love this also. Love 99% of your images actually! I agree with Mike above - you do something very mysterious with colour that give your images an edge I've never seen before, I think it's amazing.
  
  
  
  Personally, I wouldn't "donate" for a mini PSD, but I completely understand why you should - you've been handed them out for free for long enough!
  
  
  
  You've mentioned it on your site before, but if you were to make a more comprehensive tutorial, then I would definitely "donate" for that - I'm not skilled enough in PS to understand everything you're doing in a PSD, but if you had tutorials available then I would be interested.
  
  
  
  Great work anyway, I love checking your site daily.Hewston @ 2009-05-20 06:18:56
• its my first time to post here, i like the way it was shot, the timing and the color details are great.pinoy channel @ 2009-05-20 08:17:04
• @MIKE: Thank you Mike. In fact I had just cleaned my lenses before this shot... I can't imagine how "polarising" a lick would have been :D About the colors, this psd show clearly (as a group) how coloring it's done. Hope it helps.
  
  
  
  @HEWSTON: Thanks a lot, I'm glad that you like my pictures :D About the mini PSD donation, I understand your point, making step by step tutorial would be a nice feature but it would cost a lot of time. Also, it would be pretty harder to sell a "whole" tutorial (apart from a zip containing a pdf+psd) or maybe as a "small recurring fee membership site" like a famous photoblogger...
  
  While I look at stats: mini PSD are downloaded for about 200-300 times, feedbacks/comments are really low (>1%), $$$ via advertising is null, overall trafic is correct but not what I expected... sooo as a freelance guy I think I have to earn something somewhere, time is money :D By selling mini PSD even if I get only one download I get more than what I get now...
  
  Actually, there's nothing ready (php etc..) for this. So I may get another path: you will be able to buy prints from here in a couple hours :D
  
  Thanks again for your comment.
  
  
  
  @PINOY: Thanks for posting then. Cheers!
