Not 100% sure on this one ... taken tonight on way back from work, or rather detour out of work :)

Why so small? Looks like a nice shot, but can't see it too well. Am liking the lovely golden tones.

Got to agree here, needs to be BIGGER :)

The other thing I would do is to crop the shot a bit, loosing some of the left hand side. This would bring the tree into the thirds zone and balance the view better.

Quick crop, larger image and reload ....

Actually still think it's a bit dull, and probably not as sharp as I wanted it, handheld.

The sky albeit a nice colour is still a little flat ....
You can just see the Millenium stadium on the left ...

I wont have a chance to post anything yet, got to go back to work for a couple of hours tonight :'( (bl**dy EH :razz: )

But give it a shot of selective levels on the sky to liven it up. Then adjust the curves to an S and finally a shot of USM :)

That's a better crop chewy (and a better size to view it too :thumbs:)

Love the warm tones too :)

Nightmare - hope you are back now !!
Playing around with curves at the moment....lots to think about .... but that's what I love about this place - great advice.

Cheers Marcel, I normally like it a bit clearer and less soft though ? Eitehr way, great way to get out of work :)
I'll put up my last version tomorrow and will be back up that hill as well..
