Like it a lot. Both images are very good on their own, no matter what you did to them, and that's all down to you. Any chance you could explain this Topaz thingy, it's a great effect, looks like old hand painted photos.
Like most of these filters they usually work best with a good photo to start with but I found this has rescued a couple of poor shots like the jeep here.
It is done using one of the filter preset then I reduced the layer opacity, as most of the presets are very extreme, then played around with the saturation a little.
If I have time I'll try and post the original so you can see how bad it was.
Thanks for your prompt reply. Look forward to seeing the original, but I doubt very much if it is as bad as you say, your pictures are always very, very good.
Left you some comments on the original. The original is not bad, but this one is so much more vibrant - I'm a bit of a colour freak on account of having extremely bad eyesight.
