Thanks everyone for the kind comments. Well, the red at the bottom is easy to deal with, I will look it again.

Tco, where in Cornwall are you. I used, many, many years ago, to live in Helston. I spent many happy times around the Lizard Peninsular.

Fay, thanks for the lecture. As for my best critic, whats hers is hers and whats mine is hers, so what more can I offer<g>. About the picture, I have taken about 20-30 shots of this, some on a tripod and some handheld, some close and some further away. This I think was handheld. Like you, my critic thought it was too close, but I liked the soft look. I might post some others but I don't want to flood the site with mediocre shots. I will probably wait until I can get something better.

Thanks again, Rex
