I certainly haven't done this beautiful flower justice by playing with it. But it is none-the-less very pretty.

Hello Keenlearner! I like your post processing on the flowers. It's also one of my favorite things to do. Beautiful vista in NJ and you capture and present them so well.
Thank You for sharing these
Michael.

Thankyou Tryfan. Mountain ranges have a very magnetic effect for me also. They are somehow very majestic and beautiful.

Thankyou Michael. I have a lot to learn when it comes to processing and enhancing photographs, but I am slowly learning.

Many thanks Ella. The Southern Lakes are indeed very beautiful. We did a month long tour of the South Island...the scenery was just spectacular.

Hi Bernz! That was my first real attempt at enhancing a pic, but I have a lot to learn in that department. Practice makes perfect so they say. Thanks heaps for your feedback.

I think you did it a lot of justice Pauline, your Hoya is gorgeous and your wonderful picture postcard perfect views are too. You work is amazing Pauline and I love seeing the wonderful places that you both visit. Thank you for sharing yet more of your lovely country.

Dave.

This is not the critique section. This is the second thread I've read in 2 minutes where you have been critical of other people's work. Please, if you aren't asked for your opinion - don't give it. We aren't interested.

Lovely images x

I'm not sure I know what you mean by my being 'dipped in self love' and to be frank, I'm not bothered. I'm sure you have the ability to be kind about other people's work although I must say you don't appear to be demonstrating that today. I think I would be interested in seeing some of your recent work, HenBres as you obviously don't PP your images and if you are able to produce a top quality picture without enhancing it, then we will all be able to learn a great deal from you.

I will not respond to any further comments you have.
Natalie
