Stuart Chapman
Why do I have the burning desire to cross this? (Don’t need the bridge, I can see the path of stones).
Like the textures that look like mini water swirls over the water and the painterly style of the leaves. It does look a beautiful place Richie.
richiedean replied
Well, I reckon the next step is a pole vault, have to dodge the branches though ….........
Beautiful is right, as long as the weather’s good !!
Cheers mate …....

Beve Brown-Clark
Stunning water movement…lovely perspective, I feel a hint of autumn is calling… :^)
richiedean replied
I must admit, I’ve applied an Autumnal feel to this, purely because I love the warm colours, but it wont be long before I see them for real.
Thank you Beve ….......... :))

What I like about your images apart from your skill at creating them in a painted style, is trying to imagine what they looked like before you and your ‘painter’ programme applied its magic! Maybe you should do a few before and after shots for comparison.
richiedean replied
Here’s one and Here’s another …....... !!

Richie I am officially blown away!...Those are real works of art you’ve created. Love the old water wheel and fog you added to Sylvia’s Mill, and the shadows, moon and colouring to Bad Moon rising. Priceless!...And thanks for the links!
richiedean replied
Cheers gd, for something a little different have another link on me Here .......... !!
