What a wonderful view you have . . . the morning light is lovely. I'm wondering, if in an alternate version, you might try upping your contrast a bit to see if that morning glow is accentuated a bit more?
Hi Junko and Casablanca - thanks so much for your suggestions. Because my camera is what it is I often have to use odd settings to trick it into doing what I want. But then the photos are sometimes very grainy. From memory i think that might have been the case here. i know i slightly blurred it and used a very light watercolour effect to make that big white branch look not so bad. And then I didn't try anything else! So your suggestions are interesting - that's what week 48 in the 52 week challenge focused on - edit, leave, go back and check! Anyway I I had a go at increasing the contrast - and you were both quite right. The big branch looked no worse and the overall effect was better. Even Errol (who hates being asked questions like "which one do you like better?) could see a difference and chose the new one! I'll post them now. Thanks so much for your feedback! Cheers Rob :) @jyokota@casablanca
