    Mostly I try to improve the detail in the shadows and highlights and increase the DoF to what I see with my eyes when I look at a scene. It's a funny thing. Folks that don't want to have fuzzy vision sometimes prefer fuzzy images (shallow DoF) which is not what they actually see but rather what is imposed by the shortcomings of the camera!

    Admittedly, the Christmas Snow Globe and Photo Tree Ornament go beyond that point so I do slip off the fence on occasion, but I try to avoid the temptation to composite things like a jockey on a hummingbird.

    Thank you for sharing. Your posts are always informative, and this one is magical.

    A Christmas tree with twinkling lights sounds delightful!

    Exactly how I learned Photoshop in the old days -- following text instruction, but with Kim's idea and a software to capture YouTube shows, I capture the video then follow instructions in my own good time...especially at this time of the year when my family are begging me to do an i-Christmas card to send to their friends...then there's the prepping for THE day and all these domestic happenings in this house...very rare that I can access my computer at this time, usually around the middle of the night...when all is quiet as a mouse looking for kibbles...
