Well - Thanks for the lovely welcome to TPF :er:
Sorry it has taken me a while to rely to comments - I've been too busy laughing at being called uppity :lmao::lmao::lmao: - well not really, I've actually been ill (regular occurrence).
Bynx, I think you need to chill a little, and not be so judgemental. Your comments are pretty scathing for no reason. I have noticed that you are irked at my not allowing my photos to be edited by others, and I noticed on this thread alone, that I am not independent in this decision.
I do not wish even the best editor in the world to tidy up my photos, but I would be delighted if they offered me some advice as to better my own skills. As your adversary quite rightly pointed out - This is my decision.
Now on to the HDR CC :greenpbl:
Thankyou Ann, Burgo and Amocholes, Your observations are really helpful :thumbup: I definitely need to back off with the darker tones in the 2nd pic, and agree that the red and green of the rose are not represented great at all !! I resized the photos for the forum, and the pics went a bit blurry, but even at that I could really improve on making the details clearer. It is such an elaborate door, and a few policemen with guns wandering about either side of me didn't help steady my hand. But thankyou again for letting me know I'm not totally off the mark with them and going in the right direction, and not making a total arse of it
