    Nice scenery Chris.

    Do you have any editing software? This might be a good image to try out the Orton Effect, Les McLean has shared a very useful totorial here, if you fancy trying it. http://www.eos-magazine-forum.com/sh...ighlight=orton

      The problem with this I think is the blown out sky. If you shot in RAW you could do a separate conversion to try and bring some detail in the sky and blend the two together

            agree - but nice image Chris

            plus nice idea from Andy. I've used the orton effect and on scenes like this is works very well. Hopefully if you have Raw files you can do both

              I agree with both. The Orton effect would be ideal for this. Ian got me onto this some time ago, and I posted my effort http://www.eos-magazine-forum.com/sh...ght=gloucester

                Thanks all for your comments, much appreciated.
                Andy - I have Photoshop 10, tried Orton Effect but not very satisfactory, thanks for the tip, I will keep trying.
                Stan, Nat, Ian, Alan, This was taken before I started using RAW for all shots, so only have jpeg. Agree sky is blown out.
                Alan, http://www.eos-magazine-forum.com/sh...ght=gloucester very impressive!
                Once again thanks all.

                  Been trying out the Orton Effect, in Photoshop, as mentioned by Andy.

                  Certainly brings out the colour - any comments?

                    looking good Chris and I prefer this to the original

                    I would suggest you look at the fine adjustments you can do in PS using Orton, this allows you to target light and dark parts of the image and can bring out some nice detail

                      Thanks Ian, I will find some time and see what can be done.

                          The Orton effect gives more contrast, but personally I like the first shot.
                          The composition loses a bit of strength because of the large tree cut on the top, in my opinion, but overall the image is very nice and the various shades of green pleasing to the eye.
