Wow, that's lovely, can't believe there's no flats or darks on this one, you've got dust lanes all the way to the outside there!
I so want to get out to les granges when I have the time

Fay,

That is excellent!  You must be really pleased with it!

It's very nicely framed and you've done an excellent job of processing it - bringing out very good detail in the dust lanes without completely burning out the centre.  Well done.

Mark

Thankyou you are very kind. I have spent a lot of time on the processing. It may still be a bit blue.

Lovely picture Fay, and very well processed.   A bit blue or not I'd be more than happy with that excellent result !  (it's a bit difficult adding a comment when it's all been said !)

Stunning Fay, the detail in the lanes is exquisite. You'll have to have a calender all to yourself!

With so many images this year, it might be wise to have a weekly calender instead of a monthly one. :lol:
