Wish I could see it.
I have the same problem I had with your previous image.
While waiting for it to download, it will reset and start again. Happens at different times, 27% done, 32% done, 76% done... always different but I never get to 100%
This has happened on three different computers on two different networks (home and work) so I think it is your host?

Any chance you could upload a reduced version? 1024x768 or something like that?

The small amount I have seen looks excellent, but would like to view the whole thing.
Cheers.

Considering your modest equipment (imaging gear :whistle:) that's as good as it gets :thumbsup: When I finally get around to imaging this area (prob next year) I hope mine comes out as good :thumbsup:

Cheers for that Louie, it's a cracker!



I like the sound of this.... +1 from me! ;)

Thanks Louie, yes been far too long since last time we met up.
Family is doing well, they are growing up very quick.
My eldest daughter is 21, my youngest is 8.
My son is an apprentice tiler in Sydney, and my boys tower over me and make me feel short.

Hope you and your family are doing well.

I still remember all the tips you taught me about image processing, looks like I need a few more lessons.

Well done once again, that's a lovely shot mate.

:thumbsup:

Well done Andrew!It takes special people to raise a large family,so a big congrats on that mate! I don't wont to span here but I just want to say that I will make an effort to catch up with the old crew from the early days when I get back to Sydney mate....stay well.



Hi and thanks Mike! I'll be here for another few months I think.



Thanks Steve!glad you enjoyed.

this is one of those areas just out of reach for me and probably one of my favourite........a beautiful rendition

Great mosaic Louie, I am amazed also by the very good color balance you got with the color camera, not easy to manage :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks Peter.



Thank you Marco....you shouldn't have to work on color balance too hard,If you do the ratio is too far off.
