More to the point - according to the rhyme the dish ran away with the spoon. That's one fat dish.

Stubbsy, it looks quite an amazing place (or you have funny architecture in Newcastle). You have captured it well

The colours, on my new LCD monitor, are superb in your shots Peter - looks like a very photogenic location

The colours are great, every shot just 'pops' nicely on my LCD. A very vivid and enchanting place by the looks of it. The first two shots are my favourite, but I'd be more then pleased to have any in my photo album.

Poon - Not quite Disneyland and much smaller

Glen - thanks. If you think this is odd, you should see my backyard

Chris - Thanks. LCDs are always an issue when I PP since my LCD is much brighter than my CRT where I do the PP

Andrew - Thanks - of course I'm trying to make those who didn't book for the WIne weekend jealous. Builds interest for next time around :wink:

Craig - Thanks. Colours are a vexed issue. I've gone for a high sat and contrast look with these to match the bright day. This isn't always to everyone's taste.

The shots look great!
Looks like the type of place you can spend hours and hours photographing.
I love strong colour which makes an impact in images and this seems like the ideal place judging by what you have displayed. I'm in the wrong state! grrrr

Thanks Mark. It's an interesting place. It's only been completed for a little over two years so some bits are not yet complete, but we spent 2 hours there and could have spent more except it was BLOODY hot. I think the high sat works well with these images so I've pushed it a little more than I normally would.
