That's an interesting idea - something to challenge anyone who's never been to Italy! Not impossible though by a long way.

Fortunately I have been to Italy....

Hefty1, I'm not ususally a fan of colour popping but that is really nice - subtle!!!

Cheers for that!

I'm not usually a big fan either and it wasn't intended originally, but as I got it into Photoshop and started playing it just looked right somehow so I thought it'd make a change from my usual bright coloured pictures.

I do like colour popping when it is done right. It is here! Really looks great when you look at the full size version, I imagine it does look brilliant when printed...

This picture is proof that you can take a Ferrari out of Italy but ... oh well you know the rest.

LOL! I wish!

I tried a black & white version of my scanned competition entry which possibly works better than the colour version.

I think that it has more of a vintage feel to it.
