It Ain't the Camera and it Ain't the Lens PART II

Thanks for sharing the original, along with the broad brushstrokes of how you did your post-processing. I don't use QM, but perhaps I should start playing around with it more.

Quick Masks are an amazing tool. If you use an 80 pixel brush you get 40 pixels of feathering so when you use a QM to cover large areas the blending is totally seamless. Robert O'Toole taught me the basics and the fine points and his APTATS PDF can teach you the same. I use one or more QMs on 90+ per cent of the images that I optimize.
