hi, im a big fan of the program most haunted. took some pictures earlier this year of greenan castle and mucked about a bit with them. would love comments ... one is the original and the other is altered.... any comments welcome..i never know whether they r ok or i should just leave well alone.

thanks. i have printed the altered one and it looks good on paper.

I like the altered one.

The crop works well and the "halo" effect around the castle certainly gives it a spooky feel.

Id like to see it with a bit more contrast - I think it would suit the mood you were trying to create. It appears a little soft - but maybe that was the look you wanted?

Karenc, I think the PP has made it very Most Haunted

but I hope you don't mind, I took what allie5 said and did this just using Picassa.

Unfortunately the straightening has cropped it even tighter but I think the contrast boost and one click of sharpen has made a difference. Using the original as a starter you could probs do alot better.

Oh, and Trev. For someone who's not into it you seem pretty au fait with the protagonists

thank you allie and denno for your comments....i like the new look. i downloaded picasa2 2 days ago , so im just getting to grips with what it can do,,i have a few sunset pictures and only found out that you can straighten the horizon there too. so i think its time to start playing with my pics a bit . i didnt realise there was so much to do there...thanks for your help: i also have a lot of black and whites which i reckon i can do a lot with there too,.thanks
