Thanks for that the colours and a chance to get out when there was decent light is why I stayed up after Night shift.
Still experimenting wiht Gimp .....
This one is in memory of my Dad, who died a few years ago. He was in the Durham Light Infantry in the World War II, captured at Dunkirk, and spent the war in prison camps - ending with being marched around Poland.
Lesson leart on this one? = make sure the background material is spotless ie without bits of white dust etc. No doubt there is some way to remove the flecks with Gimp, but not got there yet.

Thanks muchly for that Gary - I'll have a look in Gimp for an equivalent*.
I was including (my version of) the picture in the 'Show' part of my photography class so if you don't mind I will use your cleaned up version.
*EDIT - found the icon in Gimp (= 'Healing Tool'). To use it you have to get into the Dark Arts (otherwise known as layers) so I need to set some time aside to get my head round that.
At first glance a tutorial at:
http://www.tankedup-imaging.com/gimp/layers.html
(on layers) and another one at:
http://www.ephotozine.com/article/using-the-healing-tool-in-gimp-12778
on the actual healing tool should help.

Snapped with my phone on todays walk
Just goes to show you don't have to have ultra expensive kit to get a fantastic picture!
Thank you.
In the interests of fairness though i do have to say i usually snap several pics each time and 99% are rubbish.
Guess even a broken clock is right twice a day
When i only have to take several pictures (instead of 20s/30s or more) to get one good one I will be well chuffed!!
