I like noisy version more. Also, the photo is too focused on the prism itself - I would like to see a version where more sky is included

Thanks, Andy! And Harvey, too, I'll look into that program. I did find where noise reduction can be done in Photo Impact just now and it does do a pretty good job. Thanks very much for viewing and going through such trouble to help!

Part of the reason for loss of definition is because I used the profile for my Canon 1D. The default ISO for the 1D is ISO 200. ISO 100 can be used as a special function. Most probably this was ISO 100 and I used a ISO 200 profile which is a bit stronger.

I think both of your prism shots are really compelling. Even though there's no clear form, I still find my eye wandering around them drinking in all the colors and subtle contours. I agree with Harvey about the noise issue, but I'm not sure I'd go quite to the level Harvey did. I think he did a great job with filtering out the noise but at the cost of some definition to the clouds. Good work Petra.

I use PhotoImpact for all my editing. I have PS and all the others but have been using PhotoImpact exclusively for years. The noise was taken out with a program called NeatImage which you can download. It's absolutely the best noise reduction program available and inexpensive. If memory serves me correctly, it's about $30.00

Yes! Thanks, that looks a lot better. Now how do I do that in Photo Impact? What are the commands in Photoshop, maybe they are the same. I'm going to have to invest the mega bucks into Photoshop, I fear :(.

Let's try that again. The first file was too large to upload.

I've attempted to take out as much as the noise as possible Petra. Tell me if this appears any better.

If you can get the noise out, it makes for an interesting image.
