I like what you have done with your "tinkering" Derek. Much improved photo.
Re: Poppy seed head fakery
A masterful change which greatly emphasises the subject matter. You often achieve a painting like effect in your photographs. Do you paint as a hobby as well?

No I don't paint much more than the walls of my house, and then only to cover up the finger prints from the grandchildren. I started off doing painting at art school but moved to graphics and print making early on as it never really suited me. All that was around the time The Beatles split so you can see even the bit I did isn't a recent thing.

Talent just oozes from your work.
Re: Poppy seed head fakery
Nice of you to say so. With this one I was just trying to make a fairly boring, flat photo a bit more interesting. I think it's only really interesting as a before and after comparison.
Re: Poppy seed head fakery
I don’t know Derek the after looks good on it’s own. It kind of tells a story of decay and neglect, very moody. If it was hung on a wall I would definitely stop and look. It’s a big 10-4 from me I love it...
