Hey, thanks Michael. I don't have access to Photoshop as I am on vacation here in the UK so this is straight from the camera. It needs a bit of work which I will do when I return Stateside in a couple of weeks. I included it because it is a unique subject and for those folk who like to delve beyond just an image on the screen they can Google "The Lost Gardens of Heligan" and find a whole bunch of information on what is a very beautiful and intriguing place.
Regards, Pete #7748232

What a great and creative find! Truly unique esepecially in regards to our "go green" theme.
I'd like to see it after your editing when you get back to the states.
Cheers!

Kudos on your EP...especially since you stated it was straight from the camera with no editing! #7749253

I noticed no one has made constructive critque, but it is hard to offer advice on something BP thinks is an EP!
Nevertheless, I will try because that's what I like to do.
First off I think it's a great image. The subject is just out of the ordinary sort of like the cave in Aladdin movie. I think the main part of the photo is good lighting but as you said you were going to edit it in PS I suggest making the green darker around the edges of the photo espeically in the bottom and front of the face.
Congradulations on your EP I am still awaiting that honor! #7861051
