First is three bracketed shots merged with the CS3 auto HDR function. Next a wide angle fungi with the folly as a backdrop. I thought I posted these earlier today but I can't find them , never mind . -------------------- All pic's taken with S5600 and 1.7x telecon & +4 close up lens and Cannon EOS 450D.

I would never have come up with a shot like that, just so quirky it is a great picture. The first one I am not sure about simply because of something you have no control over. The single hand rail makes it a tad unbalanced to me but that is a silly thing as I would not expect you to attack it with a hacksaw so I am not sure what I would do other than make it mono and shove the contrast up a bit (my picture band aid lol) --------------------

I do like these sort of shots Frank -------------------- I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term -- meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching -- there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster. Nikon D40x DSLR-18-55mm-55-200mm Fuji finepix s100fs

I see what you mean about the handrail upsetting the balance a bit, but I wanted the steps leading up to the Folly and the handrail was just there . Now where did I put that hacksaw . One of the things I wasn't sure about, was the Grass looks rather dull and could do with some colour boost . Oh well!! Back to the drawing board . -------------------- All pic's taken with S5600 and 1.7x telecon & +4 close up lens and Cannon EOS 450D. "To alcohol.........
