Nice one Peter. When you first get into imaging it's amazing how all that colour shows up.

Hi Peter
I think you have done a great job.
First I would get too much colour then later down the track no colour??? and my processing is only now at the level of producing an unrealistic cartoon looking image.
Takes time.
I say it often but try the burn tool on the slightly blown out regions and you may get a surprise but be gentle...I find it helpful but it takes time not to be heavy handed with it. And also the dodge tool helps lighten something for a little effect.
Well done.
Alex
