Well, they have plenty of depth, without those nasty splotches of pure white I often get in mine (I hate it when that happens). The rest of the image is good, Ted, but could use a bit more contrast and a few shadowed areas. Just a thought, since this is "practice" and you're looking for suggestions(?).

Another good one for only your second try, I will say I agree with Nik, and I bet we see more from you, and each one will be better and better.

Thats some great software that i think we all can agree on! i just love this old ruin shots with the old church and grave yard, what a place to explore history. many of my ancestors came from these parts, so im a little partial to the Country.
