HA! (chocolate box...) How about b/w? Looks like it could be really powerful and a little less saccharine with some infrared processing maybe? Anyway- thanks for putting it up, looks great!

@Matt: Good point, in fact I'm intending to post an infrared shot of part of this scene tomorrow.

OK Julian this one is HDR and what a beauty, strong colour saturation with perspective. May I ask what HDR software do you use and have you ever tried any free alternatives. Love this shot

@Peter Miller: Thanks for the comment. I use Photomatix, I've had a little play with some other HDR software but none are as good as Photomatix - it's definitely worth getting - it offers lots of user control and gives great results.

Nice view. I've never heard the term "chocolate box" before, but I guess that means it is very commercial looking like a picture on an box of chocolates?

Excellent details.
