stand out

Leeds is a fairly green city, lots of parks and tree's everywhere..
Took this just as the sun started to go low, nice day today. Sunny like yesterday but a lot warmer :-) Yay for a Simpsons sky!


Edit: How do I get 365 colours to marry up with those on my computer? Anyone know? They always seem a bit flat.

another edit - just upped it a bit in picnick.
love how bright and cartoony this looks
Very pretty

Stunning shot...so graphic with those trees, could do a fabulous painting of this!
October 21st, 2010  
Forgot to say...fav!

That bit of grassland is definitely his territory, he'll take them all on.

Not sure what you mean re the 365 colours statement.

I hate the word re, used far too often in business these days. Doh.

What a beautiful view. Love the light greens and blues. a Fav.
October 21st, 2010  
Wow, so gorgeous! This looks like a painting!
October 21st, 2010  
ohhhh I feel so calm looking at this... great.. :)
October 21st, 2010  
nice shot......and clean...relaing to the eyes...
October 21st, 2010  
@azza_l re is okay, but doh is fabulous!

For some reason the photo's look really vivid on photoshop, but not on 365 - the blue was really bright :-(

Nice sunny shot of Leeds!!! Great framing and composition with the trees. Is it a bit of Kirkstall?
October 21st, 2010  
this is so eye catching. I LOVE that green grass. incredible shot!

@rich57 Just off Armley Rd, going into town! I guess you know it :-)
October 21st, 2010  
@blightygal Well I just guessed really. Armley Road has never looked so pleasant! It was a lot warmer today wasn't it I went out dressed for the Arctic and ending up melting before the bus stop!
October 21st, 2010  
@rich57 Lol, poor you!

Nice photo. Looks like it should be used as a recycle ad, or something of that "green" nature. Looks professional.
When you're editing a photo in Photoshop, make sure you're working in the sRGB colorspace. That is the most compatible with use on the internet. Simply go to Edit and Color Settings. Make sure the working space is sRGB IEC91966-2.1. If you're currently using normal RGB, pictures can often be flat or muddy. Let me know if that helps. There's a lot of debate on what color space to use on other things, but for internet, this is the best.

@paulcleveland Thankyou! I do work in RGB, but will double check everything. Its only recently that I've noticed the change, so perhaps I've mucked up my settings without thinking. Cheers, really appreciated :-)

I love it!
October 21st, 2010  
I love this - it's so cheerful and bright. I find the same with the colours - I find I usually have to boost them up a bit so they don't look dull here!
October 21st, 2010  
Oooo this is great Freida. I actually like the colouring here, but would be intertesting to see how the original looks. I have the opposite trouble today - my pic was done in PS at work and looks ok on the work PC, but on my laptop looks too over saturated
October 21st, 2010  
This photo really stands up as a very special one. I like the composition and of course the landscape itself is beautiful.
October 21st, 2010  
Very cool shot x
October 21st, 2010  
Beautiful in its simplicity. Very well done!
October 21st, 2010  
Beautiful, simply beautiful.
October 21st, 2010  
This is gorgeous! Wonderful row of trees.
October 21st, 2010  
very cool! and gorgeous!!!
October 21st, 2010  
I have no idea about the colours--they don't translate sometimes. I love the trees all standing in a row...
October 21st, 2010  
beautiful!!
October 21st, 2010  
Gorgeous colors!
October 21st, 2010  
That line of trees is perfect - think the colour looks good - kind of spring-like even with the trees turning golden ...
October 21st, 2010  
oh, I love the colours and the perfect line of them.
October 21st, 2010  
So cool!
October 21st, 2010  
This is a great shot. The colors look very nice.
October 21st, 2010  
This is really pretty! Reminds me of a Monet painting!

This is such a beautiful picture, I just love the composition and color..would like it on my wall here and when I'm stressed I could just stare at it and be calm.
October 22nd, 2010

Amazing!
October 22nd, 2010  
Those trees are perfect! What a great shot!
October 22nd, 2010  
I can see why this is such a favorite with everyone! The simplicity of the image is just charming! I'm so glad this was where I landed as I slowly make my way around to say thank you for the nice note of congratulations the other day! I love the British word I learned on 365..."chuffed" I think it means "pleased"...we are :-)
October 22nd, 2010  
Simple but perfect. I have no idea what you could do about the colours.
October 22nd, 2010  
Blimey! You hit the right note with this one! Well done, a beautifully simple shot, not quite how I imagine Leeds! Have a good weekend.
October 22nd, 2010  
Tomorrow morning crack of sparrow up on North Norfolk coast, walking and sea watching/birding. Sunday shopping....hopefully new boots...yay!! :-) You? More decorating?
October 22nd, 2010  
How fun! Great framing!
October 22nd, 2010  
Perfect! I love it.
