    Peter this is incredibly beautiful. I love the soft colour and the way the mist swirls around the rocks. And you’ve captured that special ‘Heidelberg school’ light!

  • Peter Hill replied

    I’m really glad you mention the Heidelberg School, because I felt the analogy too! There was no Photoshopping here, the image as you see it simply came out thru the RAW conversion process in DPP, and once I saw how the light had been captured I zeroed in on it.
