    How you going Ric?. Another masterpiece. It also looks like an “old master” piece. You as excellent with treatments. You have the knack of knowing which one to use. :)

  • Ric Alexander replied

    Thank you so much. As for which textures….I know what effect i want when i take the image, so i dont have to search much for the texture, i know if it is to be dark, light, crackled or whatever. it is that what my soul sees, not the eye, that i put down on my images. thanks again.

    So beautiful, Ric it has the textured look & romantic appeal of a vintage poast card. I would definitely see if that group(s) would accept this & I’d also see if the scenery group would accept this beautiful, attractive & amazing work. Youer enhancement appears to be exact were I to critique it. I love it!

  • Ric Alexander replied

    Thank you very much lellan. RB has got me working on my techniques more. I havent joined many groups as I would be concerned i am just after comments. Maybe in the future i would join some, but I have enough at the moment, especially with my popularity of teaching photoshop elements to people now.

  • Ursula Rodgers

    Such a beautiful, appealing image Ric. Very calm, very peaceful, with those lovely soft tones :)

  • Ric Alexander replied

    Thanks Ursula. This is one of the images i would use to describe Wales I think. Im not OTT in spiritual matters but i think my forefathers souls rest in the valleys, Heavens gates as we call them.

    What a delightful photo…I love how the fog is heavy on one side..gorgeous.

  • Ric Alexander replied

    It was working down from the valleys, and rising up from the lake at the same time, with a gentle breeze it was gathering in certain places. I raced to the top of a few valleys, as the mist looks like a tidal wave going in there but i was too late. That was due to me just sitting here and looking at the view for an hour.

    And this is how it all sounds in our national stadium at a rugby match< imagine being in the middle of 80,000 where every person is shouting this out. Even away supporters cry at the noise and passion, turn your pc speakers up high -
