ELOL, no Matt I wasn’t pulling your leg just a little green in having the photo eye. They are so far apart, by the time I scroll I forget what the other one looked like. (If that makes any sense.) Thanks for the patience. Both photos are sweet.

The retouched version has already been posted. It’s the second image down. It has been cropped a little, so might look like a different image. Or are you pulling my leg?

I use Lightroom to put the watermark on. It sizes it automatically. It is possible to do i in photoshop, but it’s a more manual process because you have to resize a logo for each image. But basically, just set some text and make it either partially transparent, or set the layer to “overlay” and adjust transparency to taste.

Thanks Matt nice Shot as is. However I know you knew I was gonna ask, wheres the retouched shot for comparison. LOL. Thanks for your patience. Great Work!!!!! Just an idea, can you post how to make the signature on your photos in photoshop. Thanks. Never mind about sending the link I found it and you are bookmarked.

Thanks Tracey. I’ve posted a ‘pre-retouched’ image at the end of the post above, as per your request. I boosted the contrast and brightness in Lightroom, and changed the white balance a little, but that’s about it.

Hi Matt, love the photos and thanks for your post work instructions over at Strobist.com. Could you post a link to the out of camera images or pre post images here or at Strobist. As a nob I only see the images after post and never where it started and have no idea how the image should look prior to post work. Again, excellent work, thanks.

Thanks very much for posting how you did this, I’ve used high pass before but your method looks much better than what I was doing.
