Hi, Dot,
this does resemble an old Lon Chaney or Boris Karloff movie poster. This turned out really well from a scan. I can't get my photos to look anywhere near decent with scanning. The B&W suits it perfectly and I like the way the wall is part of the left side of the shot. Very nicely done! Many thanks and warm regards,
Shelly

Hello Dot!

This photo really represents Sintra ... a magical place and impossible to forget (for me one of the best in Portugal). It´s a shame that the photo couldn´t be more sharpened ... but for those who think like me I have a solution - Go visit Sintra and try to get a better result :-)
Seriously, this is indeed an old photo but it´s also a great shot which is only more valorized by her age.

Great work,
Gosma.

Oh this one dates some years back but hey why not show us those interesting places you visited ! I think the scan is real cool , noiseless and pretty good choice of medium here. I tend to belive these old pictures are best viewed in B&W or with some sepia tint in it. I like this , the one place on our itinerary which we missed out , our vacation was one day too short , lol,
Tfs,

Hello,

Très belle teintes dans cette belle iamge, le NB colle à merveille, un image mystérieuse, il y peut-être dans fantômes dans ce beau château.

Bravo et amitié

Hello Dot,

I agree, it does remind us of a spooky castle from the old films.
You have captured some excellent details and your viewpoint encourages us to move round, from left to right, to enjoy them.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Bonsoir Dot,

Nice timeless image. The PP treatment really gave it a nice vintage appearance. The soft light, the soft contrast and the light falloff on the edges really give the image the look of my dad old pictures. Great work and TFS.
