Ok, here's the funny thing. I'm getting HDR related comments both positive and negative and I didn't use anything of that sort. I didn't even increase the saturation (only the contrast)in my edit. But your comment on my image did make me pause and look at it differently. I may have finished the edit in under 5 steps but I obviously overdid something for it to be jarring in some way.
And you're right about overuse of HDR/Topaz. It really does ruin an image sometimes.
I admit, I'm an addict. I love the topaz look. All of them! Some you'd never know, some quite obvious. Though, since my eye sight has been getting progressively worse, I've probably overdone a number of them lately. The good news for you guys is I saw the eye doctor yesterday, and I really am going blind, but they can fix it. I get my first eye surgery Feb. 28th. They won't schedule the second eye until the first is done though.

ok you get a pass, and good luck with the surgery. i couldn't imagine losing my vision.

Sorry to hear about your vision loss, but at least its fixable. I have been getting progressively worst eyesight as well (from a medication that I was on for years, at least the doctors assume that's the cause).
On another note, makes you wonder about things...
In Oklahoma, in order to get my driver's license, I had to have the eye test, and my restriction was that I MUST wear my eyeglasses or contacts at all times when driving.
HOWEVER,
in West Virginia, I don't have to wear them when driving.
I understand things vary from state to state, but really? When I'm 15ft away from a road sign, it's completely blurry without my glasses. So that's not ok in Oklahoma, but is ok in West Virginia? I just don't get people sometimes.
I know I went off topic here, I do that sometimes (more often than not, lol)
Anyway... Good Luck with the surgery!
