    Isn’t it amazing what you can do with computers. The actual view was so much better.

  • Tom Gomez replied

    I’m sorry that you do not like this image, but it is a matter of subjective opion and proof that you can not please everyone.

    Luckily, the majority of people who have viewed this image have found it pleasing. The HDR process does tend to highlight the colours, but other than that, the image has not been altered.

  • Tom Gomez replied

    I should also have said, you are of course entitled to your opinion and I am always willing to listen to constructive ctriticism …

    looking at the comment further up you gotta wonder about someone who criticises work but doesnt upload any of their own lol. looking good Tom you certainly get around

  • Tom Gomez replied

    Cheers Philip. This is one of my favourite images. Halki was a lovely place. This was the view from our verandah. This person did upset me a little, but then as I saw the number of Faves clock up, I quickly forgot about it. You can not please everyone. It is my 5th most popular image …
