Have a Captain Cook...

[cybereye]

Hi all!!

I was going through some old photos and found one of the statue of James Cook in Fitzroy Gardens in Melbourne. The original image was a tad wishy-washy but with some different levels & curves on the statue and the clouds the picture became quite dramatic - well I think so!

I've also attached my first flickr image taken with my new Pentax K30 - it's a great little camera and I'm quite looking forward getting out and about with it.

Cheers,
Mario

I absolutely love what you've done with Captain Cook. I'd have that framed! It's excellent Mario :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Btw could you send me your flickr link too :) would like to add you as a contact.

Carlos,

Thanks for your thoughts on the picture. I was amazed at what I could do with GIMP and such a boring holiday snap - I'm glad other people feel the same way!

Cheers,
Mario

Hi Mario,

Your Captain Cook turned out well after the processing.

Apologies, I had congratulated Carlos on it in his Sydney Harbour shot thread
but he kindly pointed out that you took it. :)
