Taken in Chinon France, in the Loire Valley. The town surrounds a massive Chateau that is on the top of a hill. A very picturesque place and if you're ever in France, do a tour of all the Chateaus in the Loire. It's wonderful.

Kipper,
Only one complaint ... it's too tall for the laptop screen I'm looking at it on so I can't get it all in one go 
It looks great to me. I'd hang that one on a wall. Of course you realise you've added yet another place to visit to the ever growing list of potential travel destinations. Cheers, Gordon. Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.
It was the kit lens.
Btw, does the image appear dark? I created the image at home and that monitor has all the brightness/contrast settings cranked up for online gaming. Just viewing it at work on the same monitor that I have at home and it's a bit dark. Last edited by kipper on Fri Mar 18, 2005 8:38 am, edited 1 time in total.

Re: Brilliant
Love the shot Kipper but IMO it is a little dark. Maybe some levels tweaking to bring the detail out of the shadows. Otherwise I think it's great.

Yeah, it appears to be a little bit dark but I thought it has been done on purpose to create particular mood. I like it this way Mikhail

It's a beautiful scene and i'm sure that printed would look even better in a nice frame. Great work.

Kipper - an excellent shot that lends itself totally to the treatment you have applied.. The winter leafless trees, the slight haziness all adds up to a classic photograph of winter time in Europe - congrats

Sorry Darryl, I wasn't trying to be critical - just going on what I see on my own work monitor. It's probably fine on everyone else's. Like I said, though, I loved the photo regardless. Simon

Sharpen -> Normal Saturation -> Enhanced ColorMd -> II Tone -> Normal Photoshop Provia/Velvia Action -> Provia 70% (default) iNovaFX BWfx Action -> BW5 (shifted to a blue tint) Hue/Saturation -> Hue checkbox to affect all, shifted to a hue that looks sepia like and reduced the saturation and lightness until happy with result.

This is one spectacular photo! It makes me want to go back to France (or anywhere in Europe again for that matter!!). I don't think it's too dark, if it were any lighter, I think it would detract from the moodiness of it!
Kipper I think the shot is fine as is and my monitor is calibrated.
