Photos that Pop [Ended]

[Eric Yang]

Time for another contest! This contest theme is:

Photos that pop out to the viewer while still looking natural.

A major Detail upgrade was just released, so while it's still fresh on our minds let's do a contest that will make good use of it! Because Detail is quite good at making photos pop without adding halos or artifacts, it should be a good tool to use for this contest, although of course you don't have to use it if you don't want to.

The winner's entry will be selected based on overall photographic quality and how well the image pops. The one winner will receive their choice of Topaz products from this page (excluding the Bundle or Topaz Enhance) and have the possibility for further promotion if you choose (website, Topaz Monthly, etc). If you already have all our software, you receive a free credit for whatever software we release next. You may submit as many images as you like, as long as they were all processed in some way with Topaz software.

This contest will last until Feb 15th 2010. Have fun and good luck!

I'm still looking for suggestions about the contest format. Please see this thread here in the Suggestions forum: Contest Topics and Judging

Had to go down load the 30 day trial of Detail just so I could play

I don't really know what I am doing yet so I just used the Abstraction preset for this this - hope you like it

Shot this sunset about 5 years ago with point n shoot @ 1.2 mp. Was able to get these results with a couple of passes of Topaz Adjust and a little Detail2.

Well here is my first entry, never got around to entering a competition before so I want to try and see if I've got anything that matches up to what others put in. Anyway here is my first shot, a bridge in Bideford North Devon, England.

Shot in Raw with a Nikon D80, 18-200 lens, Applied, Denoise3, Adjust 3 and detail in CS3.
