One Shot Photo Op...Help!

[Roger S]

I managed to catch these moose, just entering a fog filled valley one morning. At the time, there was a look that I was after, but just missed. Can anyone fix this to bring more detail to the setting?

Thanks. I'm using Ulead Photoimpact 10 and couldn't get it that clear without going very grainy.

Not so easy on a low res image...but I sharpened it using the red channel in PS and then made selective adjustments using curves and a touch of noise reduction...gorgeous setting tho....and what a sight to see...
Cheers

I'm no expert in recovering the mist areas.... but this shot seems to have BAGS of potential atmosphere....

If you really want the best atmosphere from this shot...and I hope he doesn't mind the recommendation....
I'd suggest you send a full res version to martin-images in here...

Then ask him what he did!... his site has some excellent tutorials BTW..!

Had a go also. Using PS elements 6.

Thanks, Dotty. You have almost captured the effect I wanted when I clicked the shutter. The mist in the foreground, the sunlight on the trees to the back, and a little more detail to the moose.

With all these suggestions, I may have a go at myself again.
