A great way to give digital images extra impact is to use the Tonal Contrast filter within Nik Sotware's Color Efex Pro 4. The filter adds contrast, a bit of saturation, and clarity all in one action. This picture of Edinburgh, Scotland is an example. I use Tonal Contrast for a lot of my images and in 90% of the shots, it improves them significantly. For this picture of Edinburgh, I used the new Canon 100-400mm lens, a tripod, and f/8 with 200 ISO. I use the two second self-timer in lieu of a cable release. The telephoto compression of this scene makes it look better than it did with my eyes.
