Thanks Brent:-) Of course it doesn't hold any interest because it's ahrt init. It's meant to be hung in an exclusive ahrt gallery where people walk by just glancing at the picys:-)
Our neighbourhood is 20 years old Brent but the sun & white ants take their toll.
I'm amazed how good CS4 is, I only work on the desktop & just use the adjustment menu tools & floating pallet cos layers are too hard for me & the tools now seem to do as good a job on a well exposed picy as layers used to do. I can't afford to buy it as it's over $1000 down here & the makers won't let us buy it in the States so I'm using one from one of Hollys Graphic Designer friends complete with the Lucis filters & other horrors that I secretly look at when no one is looking:-)

Nice but doesn't hold my interest hugely mate. The processing looks good to me. So are you liking CS4? It seems it does do smarter things automatically with the images dunnit? Judging by this box you must live in a neighborhood that's been around a while and has character?

Thanks Penny, Carole & Doug:-) Why are you sorry Carole getting one half decent picy now & then is par for the course a:-) Yes I like this too Doug even though the tools in CS4 are a bigger help to me now than the old PS I've been using. I whacked up the contrast & it doesn't ruin the picy, this was whanged to about plus 30. In the old PS If I went past 10ish it looked terrible.
Yes this letter is for you Penny, init I asked you to give Tommy a big kiss & cuddle for me when you meet him next week & to tell me if he really does look as young as his picys cos I think he must photoshop em:-).

Your letter box works pretty well for the topic, especially with the magazines on top drawing most of the attention, but this is not as strong as your other entries - sorry! :-) CJ

This is a keeper Rod. You created a nice piece. Very dramatic. -Doug

Cute. Are you sending me mail? I like the sturdy wooden posts against the snarly branches. Penny Street
