Thanx Marlene(and Kort and everyone else of course as well). Why should I mind? Guess there are loads of people "out there" doing the same ;-) BTW: You're right, I used the same filter on those two images somewhere in the "course" of altering them... It's actually called "sun" and it "overexposes" the edges of the image leaving only the middle visible - but unfortunately also - besides altering the colours - leaves a dark spot as well :-( (See image...). So I then convert the image into b/w and just keep playing around afterwards...
