Oooooh - great work. I have an image almost identical (except my processing is nowhere near as good as this).

Thanks Lyndon. Without intending to tell you to suck eggs in any way, are you shooting in RAW? If not then you have one post processing hand tied. And the other biggie for processing is adjustment layers, which give you almost infinite control - bloody maaaaaarvelous :-)

Congratulation to the peoples choice. Fantastic shot and thanks for your participation. Regards Harry
