BBJ - went into pixspot and had a look at the bigger image. This is a very nice shot - did you work on the wind vanes coz if you did you have got PS down pat. My only suggestion would be to select the wind vanes and give them some motion blur :wink:

Yes Chris i was playing with PS and i did try that but mabe i was doing it wrong and didnt like the effect, so left it. What i tried to do was i used the marque what ever tool and maked out like a triangle from each blade then did the motion blur but yeh wasn't that flash so left it.
Maybe there is a better way.
Thanks

Looks good mate.

Either they are small trees on the hill, or that windmill is enormous.

Nice colour saturation and well-framed image.

Have the windvanes been altered? To me they look like they have. It's a nice picture but if you've done anything in PS to the windvanes, I'd remove it. Coz it just doesn't look right to me.

Thanks All, No kipper i havent changed them at all i did try to introduce some motion blur but gave up on the idea, when i took the pic i was trying to see if i could get some of it's own motion blur as it was moving. But as the day was so sunny and warm that i couldnt slow the shutter down too much to stop it from blowing out. Even with all my 20+ dust bunnies i had against that shy made them stick out. But cleaned sensor.
I played around with a few different filters and levels and colors a bit, just thought it didn't look to bad as was bored so had a play.
Cheers
John PS: Oh mabe you talking about the blotches i can now see on that pic, it is not on the pic i have, i will look at it on pisspot as for some reason the pics loose a lot of quality when posted there at times.
