Bringing a bit of colour on a very dull November afternoon.

Nice photograph the only thing I'd alter is the noise in the background. I used Neat Image on your photograph.

So had I used Neat image already - but obviously not enough!

Nice shot Fangman, but honestly cannot see any difference whatsoever in john.hem's attempt to improve your capture.

In fact, looking again I think that your original presentation is better in terms of sharpness, contrast, and colour tone.

Beautiful shot. I love the subtle tones. As for the noise, frankly I didn't notice until I read that it was there. I learned about NeatImage on this forum and find that judging the balance between getting rid of enough of the noise and overdoing it is a tough one.

Thanks guys! Neat image is nice to use but I whistle over the part of the image with History brush and paint back in detail lost if necessary. I know -it's cheating!
