Cornish Tin Mine ...

Just returned from a memorable holiday in Cornwall UK. This is one of the tin mine buildings that are dotted about the place …. it used to be the backbone of Cornwalls economy , but due to extraction costs, one by one the mines closed …

  • DualAspect

    Nice work Richie – nicely composed, very well processed, and you’ve caught the heather in the foreground at just the right time.

    I’d love to see this image without the smoky overlay effect, not that I dislike it particularly, but I think it would work very nicely without it too.

    Regards, Thomas.

  • richiedean replied

    Hi Thomas, I can imagine your frustration, but I’m sorry, if I’d liked the original image you would be viewing it now. I cant settle for realistic, I have to alter everything, you only have to look back to the realists and impressionists, to find our difference of opinions … thanks for the compliments anyway …..
