Amaryllis Lillies (a) pushed, pulled, tweaked and generally abused in Photoshop. No harm came to the real flowers which at all times remained more than two metres from the photographer...

Again, I would really appreciate your help in understanding what works best for you! Thank you for your feedback, it really is much appreciated!

And to continue a theme, here are a couple of shots photographed and tweaked differently...



Again - let me know what you think!

Here are two takes on a rose that should have been photographed the previous day... But still, faded glory and past its best seems to sum up some of the photographs in this blog.

Take 2:


Which do you prefer? Please do let me know!

Marlow weir seen from the bridge. The Thames looking like Spring is here!

So ther is a risk of a false dawn, but just today, it felt as if there was spring in the air and in everyone's step in Marlow High Street! Schools on half term and sun in the sky. Lovely day!

So where have the hanging baskets gone? The crossbars on the lamps at the end of the bridge now look like they are beyond coping. Here is hoping that later in Spring brings hanging baskets back to Marlow...

They got therre before me and painted this one black. I was left with no option but to leave the rest of the picture in colour!

This marks 5% of my 1000 photographs. This is 16 days out of 365, or just 4.4% - I am a tad ahead of myself, but not enough to rest on my laurels!

All I need to do now is start getting people to come and look, and hopefully comment on the photographs, to help me develop my styles, understand my strengths and weaknesses and so on. Help please!
