I guess it just goes to show you cant please everyone. Thank you all for your comments I wonder what the reaction to only posting the after would have been? Apart from the obvious adding of texture I wonder if you would have picked up on the changes? Michelle, I did try your suggestion on the texture in the sky but I liked the textured sky better. Some days selecting the finished image is as hard as making a hand print, I could never decide on the paper type or grade and asking for advice always left me more confused some days I felt this was the hardest thing about making a print. I guess the final image must be the one you personally like, but its always good to get other peoples point of view. Thank you. :0 )
