Nice one - you got closer than I have managed!

It was certainly worth cloning out the cars, people and pole!!

Yes Dave - much better!

Thought so - I guess one might be able to add a lower amount of blur with some trial and error and make it look more real?

Nice textures in the foreground stones and the bridges are fascinating. The distant background looks artificially blurred making the bridges look like a model!

I also have tried this, but haven't given it enough chance to get really good results. Yours are good David

Nice; how long did it take for your lenses to acclimatise to the humidity? I went a couple of years ago and couldn't take a decent image for probably 15mins or more!

Zero minutes!

I 'cheated' by putting a hot wheat bag in my camera bag for about an hour before I went so everything was already warm when I arrived. I got the idea from a local photographer a couple of years ago and it works a treat. Without it, it would take 15-20 minutes depending on how cold it was outside.

Ah - thanks for that!!
