I think the prey was us! Amazing what you did. What program did you use to clone and such?

All was done inside photoshop, Diane.

I had a look at cropping it in portrait format but there is not enough left in the image to make it interesting, as you say.

For post processing you might try downloading an interesting program HERE. They have a freebie download version (STARTER EDITION) that looks and feels like Photoshop has great step by step assistance on screen and if your son can show you some moves on Photoshop they will easily translate to this program. I think the freebie download will do you fine for a long time.

Thanks Peter. I downloaded it on the advice of another CiC member but again dont know how to use it. I had not noticed the step by step assistance, and will go back and look. They are certainly not user friendly are they!

Thanks Donald. I have kept all the blown ones off my flicker site for now and will try this out tomorrow. My son will help me.

If anyone is interested, I have put the link to the rest of the ones I thought were acceptable. http://www.flickr.com/photos/5545192...n/photostream/

Thanks again to all. I really learnt a lot. If you want to crit the others, go for it. I could get all the help you could offer.

Hi Diane,

Below is a screen shot of the real time help. Just click on the little dark Blue Triangle (shown here about three quarters down on the right hand side). This opens and closes the help function so you can see it when you need to but gives you the full screen to work with.
