Stormy evening

[kat]

Got home just in time...

[Mad Aussie]

Awwww Kat ... spectacular!! This really is! Beautiful shot!

Pssst ... remove the chromatic aberation (fringing) from the rock in the foreground

[kat]

The what? Where...lol. I have no clue what that is..now I'll have to google!

[Mad Aussie]

Look down the left edge of the rock at the front under the log. There's a reddish streak/fringe there. This is caused by a bright part of the photo being dead against a very dark part. Lightning shots are prolific for this issue.
It's caused roughly by the way the different light frequencies bend inside your lens. Better lenses tend to be better at avoiding it. But even my best lenses still get it sometimes.
Sometimes it's red ... sometimes blue or various shades really.

That's Chromatic Aberation ... and it's sticking out like dogs balls here

OH yah..I see it! How the hell am I going to get rid of that! Tomorrow...it's time for bed..lol

I also see two dust spots too.... blah

Easy ... just mask a general area around the fringing (get in reasonably close to it .... and then use the Saturation tool and select only the reds and drop the saturation back so it at least loses the colour.
Either that or use the clone tool.

OMG, it took me forever to see what you were talking about. I better go home and check that my dog really was neutered too!!

Now that I see it, it seems so obvious.

But Kat, none the less the is a wonderful photo. one of my favs of yours so far.

It is a very nice shot.

When it comes to removing CA, there's more than one way to "skin a kat". There's also a bit on the end of that same log in the foreground only a different color. Sort of a greenish-blue or maybe cyan. I wonder if it was something that was enhanced in post?

[Mad Aussie]

Also cyan CA on the same rock I mentioned ... other side. Kat .. .you gots ya work cut out for ya

SO worth it though on a great shot like that.
