    Paternoster Bay

    This one almost has a watercolour painting feel to it, and it was not intended that way.

    This may be a little overdone(hope you don't mind), but you have a pretty nice sky captured in that photo.

    I like the sleepy village feel of this shot.

    There's an easy way to enhace that watercolor feel in Paintshop Pro if you'd like to see that.

    In general it looks like a nice place to photograph, but I would say this particular shot is pretty flat because of the overcast light. Also, I would consider cropping in a little tighter next time to get the brown dirt / rocks out of the immediate foreground. Wouldn't mind seeing more of this place if you have a mind to shoot more....

    I have achieved nirvana.

    I must admit that it looks great after you have enhanced the photo.I would like to be able to do that as well.

    It is one of those remote places on the West Coast of South Africa that one visits once in a lifetime.The cropping part will hopefully come naturally in the near future.

    If you post your image over on the Digital Imaging forum the folks that hang out there know how to do this much better than I and could probably teach you as well. What software do you have available for image manipulation?
