Yes, Ray, she was waving at you and saying, "No pictures, sir" as she is in the witness protection program after giving evidence that resulted in the arrest of the king pins of the local drug cartel. No doubt this shot is her death sentence.
White skies are a drag, but there's not any easy way I know of to drop in a fake sky especially with that fountain and all of those droplets.
How in the heck did you do a three sided white vignette without intruding on the trees on the left. You are a magician with your post-photo work although I'll bet the original looks pretty darned good as well. Other than a little noise in the clouds and that danged white halo between the sky and the structures, the shot is perfect.
P.S. What is naff? You Brits really talk funny. Do you have one of those funny English accents? :-)
Either that...or she was scaring the London pigeons off!!
