@ColNed Pictures: Thank you ColNed :) I only had to play with the contrast and midtones on this one as it was a bit bright against the dark clouds, so I needed to bring out the detail. :)

Nice shot Mary, i like the color tones here, kinda antique touch to it. Hope you had a great weekend, i am just back from golfing. Else more or less the weekend was a relaxed one, spent most time off internet on the notebook learning the Photoshop and playing with it hehehe....

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States

I haven't been getting by as much as I'd like either. Only had time to post a photo every morning, and not really any time to look at other photos. Unfortunate, as there is a lot to be learned from looking at everyone else's work.
