Rachael Macleod
Great shot Tom, makes me wish I had changed lenses after all!
Robin Brown
Bet this one would still beat the current house price trends Tom. Very Hansel & Gretal, fabulous shot!!
Tom Gomez replied
Interesting that you should mention Hansel & Gretal. I had originally thought of calling the shot Gingerbread Cottage, but while I was researching the cottage, I found another image of this cottage which was already called that.
Robin Brown
Hey don’t let that stop you Tom. It happens a lot, titles are often repeated which can be pure coincidence. I often find similar or even the same titles I use on other works posted here on the bubble. I even find my slogans on other people’s T-shirts but usually with different fonts!!
I check around too but its a big world & there’s room for everyone!!

Nicely done Tom

How stunning this property and cottage is. Looks totally like my kind of place. And this is the gardner’s cottage?? Hmm, wonder what the main house looks like. A great capture, Tom.
Tom Gomez replied
Hi Marjorie, in this particular case, there is no big house. The cottage is in Princes Street Gardens in the centre of Edinburgh. The gardens are a wonderful public amenity and an oasis of calm in the busy city.

Fine HDR with amazing colours and what a beautiful garden.
Noticed the spelling of “Hansel and Gretal” .....”Gretal” should be “Gretel” .......
I should know my name is Hans and my wifes name is Gretel :)

Glad you like the shot Hans. Well spotted on the spelling, no excuse for me really as I am a technical writer and should always be careful about these things, but he ho, dyslexia rules KO a they say – hehehe

Absolutely great photograph Tom. The composition of the crop is perfect. I like your tender hand in HDR.

Much appreciated Bob. I try hard to use HDR to enhance my shots, rather than overcook them. I don’t always get it right, especially some of my older shots, but I try …

Gary Murison
Great shot Tom. When I was in Edinburgh last week for the Tattoo I took a few shots of this cottage too – and it looks like we were at identical viewpoints !! I’ll get one onto RB at some point. Now I have a heap of photos to wade through.
Tom Gomez replied
Cheers Gary, it is a very pretty cottage …
Did you see my wider view of the cottage
Gary Murison
Yeah, I saw it Tom. Another great image. You must have taken these shots in Spring, as I have just found the ones I took and there is no sign of the beautiful blossom on that tree, or the bluebells under the trees.
Tom Gomez replied
This shot was taken during the RB meet in Edinburgh on 26th April 09. The other shot was taken on 26th July 09.
