The colours are nice, but looking on flickr, the fine detail is smeary like it's had too much noise reduction. Any thoughts as to why that might be?
The Orton effect is quite tricky - I'd say this probably needs a stronger effect to look different enough that conventional assessment can be suspended. In the small size it has a really nice painterly effect, but I'd put that down to Flickr/TP resizing mangling the image, hence going to view full size on Flickr.
I’ve been using the Orton effect for years, the key is to use it very subtly usually around 10-20% opacity. I don’t always use Thomas Heaton’s method either, sometimes the Apply Image>screen technique doesn’t quite work so you can skip that and just apply a gaussian blur of about 15% and use soft light blend mode. This shot works for me but I am viewing on a small screen, composition and lighting looks good though
Like the shot, nice burst of colour and benefits from the simple composition
That's the difference ,Thomas can . Not sure what processing has been done or what effect you were looking for, it doesn't work !. Any chance to see the untouched image ?
Just being honest
