Hi Lea - thank you for your helpful comments. I apologise for those white bits...I missed them completely! How could I?! Should have been cloned off - dirt on the negs... I deliberately didn't increase contrast though as I felt the greyness of the scene reflected the greyness of the day. I had others from our day in Whitehaven but this was the best. But I assure you we do actually get a lot of sunshine even in the Lake District!

                    Howard Leigh - Wet Whitehaven, Cumbria, U.K.  Welcome back to active posting and happy retirement, too. This image could benefit from a contrast bump and sharpening. On first glance the figures distracted me but they've grown on me and add something to this image that might be rather dull without them. Along the very right edge of the image there are two very brights white bits of light...one just above where the paint changes from dark to light and one behind the closest figure's head. They keep nabbing my attention. I like this image but think it could be made much stronger with some small tweaks.
