Old fireplace in Wales

[Bluie]

Hi everyone

I'd love to know what you all think of this photo I took of an old fireplace in Wales. I remember walking round the corner and being amazed by the vibrant contrast of colours. All advice welcome and wanted!

Hi martin!, it is a very interesting old fireplace and i can see that you were trying to bring out the vibrant colours, but in my opinion it looks a little over done, i would suggest toning it down a touch and boosting the contrast slighty

Had a tiny play with the levels to show what i was saying...will remove if prefered

Realise that the colours are the theme here but just think they look overcooked tbh
Eased back on the saturation in my edit....nice find btw

Thanks for the help guys! I will have a go at 'calming it down' a bit over the weekend. And don't worry about removing the image. I'm here to learn as much as possible!

Thanks again.

its a very bright like the others said, but I actually like the leaves been bright - some fantastic colours in there.

I really like the vibrant colours, I see what people mean about calming it down however I like it.
