Macka - all good but the last one has it! Very nice! Curiously, much PP on these?

Geoff, depends on your definition of "much". :wink:

The most work was done on the last shot because it was the most underexposed to start with.

In RAW I used the new "fill light" slider to lighten the foreground, increased the brightness, contrast and "vibrance". Then in PS I did separate curves layer masks for the sky and foreground, some shadow/highlight to bring to foreground up a bit more, and applied a warming filter to the foreground as well. And then just resized, with a bit of contrast sharpening.

I do seem to have brought out some banding in the bottom left corner in the process.

Here is the original out of the camera (just resized):

The squiggly leading line in #1 has a very interesting impact on the image.

Aah, the joys of shooting RAW...

Cheers
