Hi Peter
I live about half an hours drive away from here so that's what attracted me to view this image, but I have to say it's alittle of a dissapointment. Their is more lead in lines around this area than i can care to think of and you have completely cut the most obvious one off in the little single track road we can just about see in the left hand corner of the frame, i'm not sure what your post processing technique was with this but it seems the gaussian blur you've used is much to heavy and does nothing except degrade the picture. I've photographed this place many times before and even gained world wide publication from images from here whilst not trying to sound patronising, I would strongly suggest you go back and try again, it's probably one of the most photogenic areas I have ever come across and you do not need to be a pro to be bagging great shots from here.
Sorry to sound so harsh, but the truth is better than telling you it's great in the hope you come back and give me points.

Regards Dean.

Very nice composition from what I can see. The lighting suggests dreamland. How did you get it like that. Did you blur it a bit? Maybe too much. Thanks in advance. Karin
