Thank you for viewing and comments on the previous post, especially goodoldboy about the painted effect.
Andreas did mention it was difficult to comment on the success of the post worked version without seeing the original. Here is Kai's (short_ribs) post work illustrated, you be the judge of the success of this one and the short collaboration series.
About the scenery: This is the Kalahari desert back dropped by the Koranna mountains.

Oooh! Young Kai did an amazing job on this one. Awesome postwork, even straighted it up a bit. The colors are just to die for...not literally though, lol. Beautiful photo to begin with. I kinda envy Kai for getting the opportunity to work on them....maybe you wish to throw some my way as well? LOL. Ooooh ooooh oooooh OOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!! Or you could start the next DITI in the forum....take my place so to speak. Would that be okay with you Kimberly? #;o) Beautiful work you guys. Keep up the great job!!!! Have a wonderful day! #:O)
Excellent shot and outstanding postwork. I prever the revised version!
And what a difference it makes.The colors are more vibrant and the scene takes on a whole new feel.I suppose there is something to be said for having a pic straight from the cam,but I'm such a color junkie,lol,that I can't help myself.Beautiful shot,Piet and wonderful work,Kai.You guys did well together.
Very nice collab and work again!! I love to be honest both! Both really rocks, and there are some postwork that sometimes don't need enhancement.Sigh! Very awesome shots/capture and the POV is really amazing.. Thank you for the post and have a nice day my friend JOE
Excellent eye Piet! It's a fantastic scenic! It really reminds me of various areas within the Southwestern United States. I must say that I really love the postworked version better (you know how I love them saturated colours). I think Kai did a marvelous job of PW here. My hat's off to the both of you! Have a most excellent day my friend!
I like the way Kai has brought out the colour in this already good shot showing the vastness of the area
wowwwwwwwwwwww, yes... I like more the number one, the color is more amazing and there is the magic atmosphere savage.... Excellent capture and work my friend. I hope you have a excellent and nice week and hugsssssssssssss... Africa together
It is beautiful work. Like Troy it reminds me alot of the southwest. Thank you so very much. :)
looks like west Texas. excellent collaboration on both parts
super Photo`s...mir geflt diese Graslandschaft und die unheimliche Weite des Landes!
look like you can just walk over to those mountians in five mintunes but I know you can not this is super
Two beautiful images, two different moods.
Terrific shot and terrific postwork. Excellent. Aloha
Beautiful indeed and well done! You bring a part of your world to those of us who are very far from it. Thanks very much.
The original colors are so must more dry and hot looking. The pw is very bright and beautiful. I enjoy them both.
Wonderful landscape! And the pw is really excellent! :)
Amazing photo. Perfect DOF, sky...and colour.. I still learn with every pic I see of you.. Thank you for your work. Hugs. Luis
Beautiful work by you both, Piet. Have to go with Tom Dart on this one. Happy hugs, and night night. Di :-)
The postwork is excellent, without going too far, just right... Amazing desert scene... Bravos for both..!
It is wonderful to see the two and be able to compare. Nice jobs!! :0)
Amazingly lifted... I enjoyed both photos... on one hand I like it as nature intended and then there's other times a girl needs a lift:-) Lifted today works!
this teamwork-technique of yours does really yield.
Oom Piet, ja... LOL Ek weet vir 'n feit dat jy nie so 'n wintershemel in Noordwes sommer sal kry nie. Kai het egter 'n great job gedoen hier! Well done Kai! Excellent postwork! Well done Oom Piet! Excellent captures! Typical Northwest Province sight. Isn't SA just dandy? giggle
I really love how you've brought the colours out! I'd love for y'll to make me a tut and mail it pls - I've got lots of "dull" shots...
Excellent idea Vera (PeeWee05), let's see if Kai is going to part with his well guarded secrets...
What wonder!!!. They seem two photographies!!! MAGNIFICENT!!!.
The color and detail stand out so dramatically in the postworked version. Awesome work!
Love seeing such combined team work, great work. :))
Super colours definately worth the extra effort in the postwork. Awesome landscape!
Kai's postwork makes your already great photos shine even more. The comparison is welcome, thank you for sharing both.
