Hi Derek,

You live in a beautiful town then.

Each and every picture on this card is worthy of a posting - you should sell this one to the tourist office - would work great.

hello Derek,
a very well put together montage of pictures to make up your postccard. It really is professional looking.Interesting note.We have a Common Riding in Annan too although it is known as the Riding of the Marches (boundaries).

It seems there is a good contingent of Selkirk folk on TL.

Hi Derek,more than fits the theme,you'll probaly have a call from your local tourist office, asking if you would give them permission to produce it for promoting that area.

Ron

Hello Derek,

A very realistic postcard showing detailed views of Selkirk. Your pp skills have really worked well here. I can see the Tourist Board of your area contacting you in the near future!!!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello, Derek.

Excellent!

This one is perfect! Not wishing to reiterate what you said about my contribution, nonetheless I find each of the pictures in this collage/montage to be perfect. Not only that, each of the pictures depicts a separate theme or place from the town. Very well presented indeed!

I'm a bit of a beginner (tyro) at these collages - how did you combine the images together like this - I tried PSE6 but still found it a bit of a struggle - is there a knack or is it just a matter of trial and error?

Kind Regards,

John.

Hello Derek,
What an interesting collage. Each of these shots could have been posted.
Very well composed with great colour and detail.
A fine job, Derek!
TFS, Joni
