Nice Justin - the flags work well. Any wider shots?

Very nice Justin,

Tripod = stable platform = panorama opportunity

Where are the panos? :)

Matty - this is really tricky. Photoshop afficionados are going to hate this.

Have you got Picasa2?

Sharpen the picture.

Select filtered black and white

Across the top are some coloured hexagons then a colour palette. Hover your mouse over each hexagon until you get the one you like.

Sharpen again.

Add a 'glow' from the effects page. about 25% on the radius slider and 25-50% on the intensity slider.

No panos Yi-p was playing with multiple exposure again.

It's a pity you can't combine bracketing with multiple exposure (every time I set the M E, bracketing would reset)

I think this way they put it so to avoid errors or probabbly the processor cannot handle it.

Its even more creative without the bracketing tho :P

Justin - I prefer the wide shot but in colour. The black and white version has too many tones that cannot be differentiated. The colour version gives greater depth to this pic.

i got to agree with this. the B/W is nice but the colour one has a lot more to look at due to the different colours and textures that seem to be a little more visible with the colour.

nice photo.
