Early every morning the sun comes up the mountain, setting in the sea in the evening once more.

Hi Beach I really like the selective colouring in this one.
But I also like the fact that out there is a backyard as messy as mine.
This is a great shot mate.
Thanks for sharing.

Somehow amongst the rusty pails, discarded oil containers, plastic pots and unkempt landscape, nature, with her beauty, cannot be denied.....

all we need to do is add some water .. I'm trying to figure out if this is colourful or drab, neither would be negative ..

Thanks dan, yes, there is partial desaturation of some of the greens here.
Prime, and others, do such good work with PS, I feel as though I should try to get my head around it. At the moment its more good luck than good skills, cheers

Hi Beachcomber, the colors, be what they may, do not compare to the poetic stage you set between the mountains and the sea. Nice work my friend, I applaud.

Lovely shot Beach - distribution of colour here is fantastic. Interesting colour with the darkish green leaves. Did you tone these down a bit? If so, then I think this has really helped with the flower display. Cheers, Bernz
