Must recuperate from this disaster. Bring on the Scotch. OK, much calmer now: Intellihance settings: 1. fine art 2. hard contrast 3. shadow emphasis 4. high saturation 5. remove cast 6. extra hard sharpness. 7. elephant skin texture with murky green (really) under color. 8. triple vignette: fuzzy gray, sharp dark gray, marble tile poured into the outermost. Quilted? OK, I see that. I was thinking along th e lines of jigsaw puzzle or painting starting to show cracks. One of the things I do is to mess with an image until it looks 'right' and then to use those intellihance settings for all similar photos: similar in lighting and general 'geography.' Messing with different settings for same types of shots is not very satisfactory in my experience. Then everything seems to look the same, so . . . Not always an easy call. ;-) Just curious if other folks go thru this sort of agony/indecision. Thanks again. CU Weesel

Thanks, guys. The place is naturally photogenic. Even the Micky D's on the corner! I believe this was Nov 10th this year.
defintely one of the better images I've seen of my home town. (Was actually down there earlier tonight before I went to see the Spurs stomp on the Hawks)
oh yes, i'm familiar with the postwork crosseyed vertigo... although i think you've achieved a very pleasing finish :]
Nothing wrong with free machine stipple quilting! Like your quilted photo. :)
This reminds me of a composed puzzle
