   Oh a Argonianlady! I have not seen many here on the Nexus but she looks like a fierce character! And knocking down the Pale Lady shows, that she can take care of herself. And beautiful screenshots, it gives me a movie-vibe =)

      What's even more rare is the "lad" is a lass! It's alright though, it's not often easy to see the difference among the Argonians...
      
      I've been very much into using LUT's lately in my Skyrim sets. I figured I should try something else after so many regular images and I'm having a blast rediscovering this game with different colour options. I dare say it has even made me climb a notch if you look at them as mere screenshot art (I know some people don't see this as an art form, but I've been around images for all of my life, so I do). What once was seen more or less as documentary images has turned into more artisitc pieces...well, in my own opinion at least. Still love the realism, but I'm having a blast doing something else for a chnage at the moment.
      
      Thank you, my dear!

   Beautiful pics, Rick. This particular combo of ENB and Luts makes everything seem so crisp and frosty. Lovely
   
   Nice cap of an ice wraith. Those little buggers are so fast!

      Thank you, dear! Yes, I like this combo too, although I've adjusted the warmth a bit with Sparta to make it less yellowish. It still is, but more like a gentle glow rather than all.in sepia-toned. Knox is just marvellous for interiors. That's the one I used the most when playing with Caffene to begin with and it really adds both darkness and crispy details to interiors which is very rare I'd say. I'm jumping all around regarding the LUT's though, so I don't expect to to the same each and every time. I just pick one and use it for a "walk", slightly adjusting it to my liking if needed.
      
      Ice Wraiths can be tricky to capture! Not only are they somewhat transparent, but also fast as you say. In this case, it had not yet spotted me though...

   Stunning set of images and a story I'm familiar with. The greens and faint blues pair up so nicely.

      Thanks a lot! Yeah, it's one of those "small stories within the story" that I like very much. I love it when you find notes of something odd taking place among the bandits, explorers, miners, whatever. It gives just as much life to the common people as it would to the NPC's of the game.
      
      Green and blue worked very nicely together for this underground set. I've done this crypt a few times too and mostly I fight against The Pale Lady, but my Argonian girl here is wise and kind, so she banished her peacefully instead...
