Renderosity has opened a whole new world to me, its a fantastic place and have had some brilliant support from many new friends.  I retired from work very early through ill health so I took to photography from the very basics.
 Since joining I have grown in confidence with my photography and I now think because of RR that I take it a little more seriously. I started off here using a Fuji Finepix 6500fd, it took some great pictures but I'm hooked now so I have now(April 2008) bought a DSLR SAMSUNG DX10 and having fun learning the settings etc. ( these things take me a while lol)ÂÂ
I am so fortunate to be with a wonderful person in my life, Sylvia. She is not just my partner but of course she's also my best friend. Previously I have been married but seperated a few years ago and have two fantastic children. I NOW have two fantastic grandchildren !!!
My interests are photography, i have had a dabble at Acrylic painting, and I enjoy long walks out in the countryside.      I also have an interest in anything historical.  I want to have a sample of just about everything there is in photography, who knows what the future holds!
Thanks for calling by.    Alan

Very nice mood.

the brightness in the Image adds to the feeling, but I think you altered it a little too much since you get a brighter halo around all object.. Take care,, =)

If the lady and here child were not there, I could have been mistaken.. It very much looks like an ancient photograph of days long gone.. Great work.

I agree it it weren't for the lady and child I too could really have believed we were back in time. It is an excellent capture of mood and atmosphere - Fantastic!!!!

I must agree with iaacf and Jane Alan If you had cropped out the toddler and it's mum, it would have been perfect. Absolutely beautiful mood to this, with the smoke from the iron foundry drifting across through the sunlight. Magical, straight back to 1896! Bravo!!!!! I'm jealous I missed this.

I still have the original pic so I'll take all the advice on board and have another play around. I have already cropped quite a lot off the height. The Horse and cart were moving so I couldn't wait until the Mother and toddler had gone. I thought I had something good with the low sunlight gleaming through the smoke behind. Thanks for the comments, it all helps.
