A superb view for nice weather. I would not want to be there in the midst of a bad storm though! Nice shot Lyn.

Wow. Looks like a painting and it's so beautiful. I would even work there as a busboy for the view. You have captured a great view and shared it with us. Thanks Lyn.

Wow, that's a different view of things and a wonderful image! I like the transformation of the blues to greens through the glass. What a wonderful place to dine and relax.

A room With A View or is it A View With A Room? Spectacular architecture that really does do what it says on the tin (as the advert says). Stunning view, wonderful building both caught fantastically well in this image.

I can recognise your pictures a mile off now. Look at that view, and the fantastic shapes in the restaurant. That's a winning combination if ever I saw one. And LynEve blue too.

Nicely ... and I do mean, nicely done Lynn. This is a stunner of a shot.

I had actually seen this on the day of your posting and had it bookmarked for a future visit. That visit got bumped up a tad. ;o)

There is some haloing around the peak and along the lines of the structure itself. Think I have a workable suggestion for you, if you don't mind ... that being this ...

Not sure if that is a result of some boosting of colour and/or contrast ... that said ... given the strong lines of the restaurant itself, I believe you could easily select that as an area using the more automated selection tools ... place it in it's own layer in PSP. And then, boost and tweak away. Placing it as the top layer in the final composite and avoid the haloing.

To be clear here, try cutting it out in a separate layer ... and then keeping your colour and contrast adjustments as separate layers themselves, below it. Think that makes sense.

That said ... caught this one immediately and have been peeking in on your galleries since your return from holidaying with family. Wanted to let you know that this one is that much more special to my eyes.

A big well done. And but of course, thank you for sharing this image with us. It is a great shot. Take a bow. :o)

+favs for me.
