Nice to see this on the front page Chris !

Congrats, lovely capture,

Great shot well done... 5*****

Great photo ! the colour is very nice.

great shot, great angle and very good harmonius colours, Did you use the colour wheel, theory or did you just happen upon the shot? Would look good on canvas and hangin on a wall. Thanks for sharing and I'LL be looking for something similar now muself.

Congratulations again Chris.

Still nice mate!

Superb colours and effective DOF. Great shot, deserved of RPOTD.

Nice colourful and well chosen front page photograph.

Thank you all so much for such nice comments. Has this really been on the front page three times now? I've missed it every time! I took one exposure, then made two TIF files from it - one normal exposure, then one overexposed to bring back detail in the shadows. Then I used Mark Galer's technique for HDR (should really be done with two exposures, rather than two outputs of the same file) in Elements. This seems to bring out the tonal range contained in RAW files quite well.

Congrats mate, well deserved again,
Donny
