When we wish to be there it's because the photography is good, I had this feeling Silke.

Hi Silke,
You did a great PP to get rid of those potential distractions. The result is very neat (I couldn't spot any flaw).

Nice composition, with the curve of the road as an interesting lead-in. Very good light and colors as well,

Regards,
Ramdan.
Feel so good being surrounded by my respectful seniors, I guess this is a lucky day for me. :) Feel a bit at fault for breaking the chain.

Hi Silke,
I like the concept of having the old castle and new structures together in the same picture. I like the composition and detail in this shot. Excellent PP work, I couldn't tell anything was altered at all, but I guess that's the point. Very nice work Silke.
Regards,
Kevin

HI Silke,

This is a beautiful town that I know I would enjoy visiting! Looks very quaint and charming with the thatch roofs, stone bldgs. etc... I am very impressed with your cloning in post processing. A Car? Wow! Great job. Certainly no pattern was repeated!

thanks for sharing, Lisa

Hello Silke,

I would almost believe you lived in England from the number of lovely shots you post!

This is a great pov with the curving road leading the eye past those quaint cottages towards the focal point of the castle.
Sharp and detailed.
I cannot see where you have cloned out images ... great pp work.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Silke,
Great PP work here, you have done well with all the removal work, I would not have noticed if you hadn't said in your note, overall a nice shot with a nice lead upto the castle with the thatched cottages on the left.
Well done
Regards Andy

At thie end of October we'll be going for a looooong weekend to visit our friends there...

For some reason I get flash backs looking at your pictures. Do you have any idea why my dear Silke?
Anyway a great shot along the street in Corfe, fine time contrast. Excellent view well captured and framed. Superb posting my dear!

I loved visiting these English villages - so quaint and so, so different from home.
Lovely composition here Silke, especially showing the wisteria growing on the roof. It brightens up the grey stonework and thatched roof and roofing tiles - and grey road and castle remains.
And after looking at the original - congrats on your PP work!

Hello Silke, I see you were in England at around the same time as me... hope you had an enjoyable time. I wasnt too far from here at some point.. a wonderful job you have done here on cloning of the unwanted, to create a lovely sharp and interesting image.. well done.

And I hope all is well with you.
Kind regards
Dawn

Excellent PP work Silke. The cloning cleverly carried out, just enough saturation and the detail in the old buildings just stunning,

hi silke, wonderful shot, nice colors and details, really very lovely rustic british town scene here, i guess the new car in the scene gives away the time of image though, still so nice to view,

The convertible, tar road,new windows and the tv anteanna definitely the new, while the old is still standing after so many years. I love the houses close to the road, giving so much charm to your composition.
A very lovely shot with good pp.

Hello Silke !

Great to see the comparaison between the original and final shot. The overall ambiance and mood , is indeed much more pleasant and clean.

I like to do such works at times too. When I do, even when shots are fairly large, I still enlarge it three to four times to work them more accurately. I like overall the works, except the parked car. I know it is not easy, but it does look like a damaged car (*_^). No offence my dear.

Hope you are feeling better now.
Sincerely,
Robert

Bonjour Silke,

C'est étonnant comme des coins de France peuvent ressembler à d'autres contrées!!!
Cette jolie rue me fait penser à Gerberoy ainsi qu'à la Bretagne ou la Normandie pour ces toits peut être ou la chaume est très présente!!!
En tout cas c'est vraiment joli, cet arrondi qui vous emmène vers ces ruines magnifiques!
Amitiés
Odile

Hi Silke
I appreciate this art work.
A great classic picture of ancient Britain.
The pressence of car distracts bit. But we could percieve differently. The presence of blooming tree is attractive.
Well done.
Peter.
