So that's where the gnomes live

Get serious! Gnomes don't live in mushrooms! SMURFS live in mushrooms! Can't you see papa smurf hiding behind the one on the left???

Seriously, I like the shot...

Nice shot, but I think I would have done a little gardening and removed the clover(?)on the right side, as it is a bit of a distraction IMHO.

This was taken near where I meet my daughter from school. She said something very similar when I showed her

We have some smurfs somewhere, would it be too kitsch to place them in such a shot?

Thanks.

Thanks. I printed it this morning and once on paper this is also what occured to me. I really must put a small set of scissors in my camera bag.

Scissors? Okay, but I would have just used my fingers and very gently removed the distracting foliage - do it often. :mrgreen:

really underexposed and the flash has created strong shadows and sucked the life and colour from the image

Sure, but I took another couple of shots from a different angle and found myself plucking odd pieces of grass out of the way for what seemed like ages. A pair of scissors seems like a good idea.

Granted there is some slight shadowing, but the flash has actually done the opposite of what you suppose as far as colour is concerned, which is why I used it (notice that I used slow flash, which doesn't swamp the scene with light and darken the background). The exposure is good and I really cannot see why you think this photo is really underexposed.
