Stubbsy,
I think I prefer part 2 of HVG, particularly image #3. #1 is great! It'd be a good PJ shot if you had a small kid in front of the book looking up like he/she was reading ![]()
Peter - I too prefer this series - #1 and #3 take the cake...excellent work and are not (to my eyes/monitor) over sharpened this time around

Daniel, Geoff Thanks for your comments.
As for the sharpening. These were only minimally sharpened now that I've taken on board Matt K's valuable criticisms. Peter

Hi Peter - You're getting better images each time you visit these gardens. One of these days I'll join you for a visit
![]() As for these particular pictures... 1. You have cut off one of the corners of the book - other than this, this is a great pic ![]() 2. Seems a little flat on my screen. Also, try cropping just a little more sky out of the picture, to just above the tree line. (just a suggestion) 3. This, too, could be interesting with a little less sky - see what you think, as I know we don't always agree ![]() 4. Probably the best I've seen of this view from you, although I'm not too keen on the horizon. I know it's a tuff spot to get the look right though ![]() Mind if I ask what lens you used for these shots? ![]() ![]() *** When getting there is half the fun! ***
Leon, Vince thanks for your comments
As for the chopped top of the book - it was to hide a bad cloning job on the RHS where there (was) an archway above the rhs of the book Peter
