Seconded.
It could also be the Cornish coast, much loved in my youth.

To my eye, the ivy is too bright a green in the first picture, but the colours in the second one are rather pleasing.

I might even go closer, but it doesn't leave anything recognisable at these file sizes!

Thanks for the replies Folks
The lens in both cases was a DA*16-50.
The muddy colour may well be down to the amount of coal burning around the place.

Having tried out various PP software I have settled on Silkypix 3.0 and PSE 7.
Usually I can find my way around programs, but PSE7 is so feature rich that I feel I should admit defeat and RTM.
I have found the ---for Dummies books good in the past, but does anyone have any recommendations?

I detest my own image.
If anyone wants to take a picture of me, I would recommend a 1000mm lens and a TC.
So here's two of me

Any and all thoughts appreciated, and by all means PP them.
Thanks for looking.

Another yes. If someone is kind enough to make the effort to show me how a picture can be improved, or even just make me think about it, I am very grateful.
A picture is after all worth a thousand words, and a picture and a few words is even better.

Is the free version still available George? I couldn't find it so I bit the bullet and bought it. Well pleased with it though.If you are shooting RAW, you might want to get (indeed, you are well advised to get) the free version of Silkypix.
