Hampton court

[jimothy]

Took advantage of the sun yesterday to have a play round Hampton Court, and took advantage of a few free minutes this afternoon to play with Apertures post-processing features. Here's the results. Comments please.

A few of those look a bit overdone to me, the flower and flag most of all.

I do however very much like the picture of the swan, both in terms of composition and the processing.

I have to agree that they're overdone, though I think it quite suits the statue in no. 5 because of the pose, so it can work occasionally if used sparingly. I think its a good idea to clone out any flare spots or other defects such as that on shot 1 of the chimneys before starting on any extreme processing as they're easier to remove earlier on.
