I know what your saying with shades of autum, I must say that the only thing i still would have done differently would maybe not put a frame on it. I also may have faded the edges out a little, this would then draw the viewers eye to other areas other than the obvious frame round the edge, which I knew was a mistake as soon as I had locked that effect into the picture.lol
Matthew, thanks for stopping by and commenting on "Early Adopter". The title was intended to be a misuse of the phrase to mean a very young person adopting the technology.
I view Photoshop for minor photo editing the same way I view using dynamite for fishing. It's big, flashy, and explosive, and you still have to figure out how to get the fish out of the dang lake.
