    Lovely and peaceful shot, Maggie. Beautiful calming view just before the day closes. And the sounds of quiet melody live in peace with glorious silence:
    ”...Robin Hood and William Tell and Ivanhoe and Lancelot, they don’t envy me. Sitting till the sun goes down, in dreams the world keep going round and round. And I can’t get it out of my head…”

    Beautiful, love the colour tones and the light against the darkened trees but its how the sun is that makes it for me. Did it just come like this on in Processing may i ask. : )

  • dinghysailor1 replied

    hi karen now you’re asking…LOL i messed around with levels and the midtone contrast brought out the lovely arc around the sun…and may have put a 30%multiply filter on.. dont really know how to do much more.. the starburst sun and trees are as is…and also left the lens flare in…

    thanks for asking.. and any suggestions or tips would be most welcome!
    cheers
