A Blast from the Past

I decided to pull one of my favourite images from 2009 and it a 2015 makeover to see if it looked any better with the processing tools that I have now.

The image is of a female Keeled Skimmer.  Four handheld F11 shots taken on the MPE-65mm which in 2009 I stacked in CombineZP and then processed in Photoshop CS3.  The 2015 version I stacked and processed in Photoshop CC.  Some processing of the 2015 was also done with Google Nik Collection Viveza plugin.

Here’s the reworked version.

And how it looked when I processed it in 2009.
