All lovely, but Uncle ho is a standout, and think the last one with a little PP (fill flash) would be a pearler as well.

Norbs - after reading your blog on the last pic I realised that sometimes we need to know the story behind a pic.

I was so impressed that I decided to try an experiment in CS3 with your pic (please do not be offended and I will remove pic at your request).

I opened you pic through Camera RAW (a great feature of CS3) and applied exposure and recovery on your image - the result is:

Chris was that the result of just clicking a button ? Or is it a little more involved then that ?

Craig - after opening Norbs file through Camera RAW it was just a matter of sliding the exposure control to the right and, after getting what I thought was OK, just giving a slide to the recovery slider - this is a feature of CS3 that is outstanding IMO. :)

No problems at all with people having a crack at making the image look better. I can see the mans face alot better, but I dont like what it has done to the rim of his hat. Also, because I was there, I know it isnt how it looked at the time. Even I had troubles seeing much detail in his face squinting into a rising sun. Thanks for lettimg me know there is a CS3 thoguh. :)
