Truly a last minute entry. I took this with my IPhone while walking on the grounds of the hotel as I was leaving. A big crop, lots of curve adjustment to bring out color and a texture overall.

Thanks for the all comments, most appreciated.

The original is rather dull!

I love how you've crafted such a lovely image out of such a simple scene. Recognizing the potential from an image you describe as rather dull is impressive. I need to learn a lot more about curve adjustment -- I don't generally mess around with it. You have not only ribboned with an iPhone camera, but one that is a couple of generations old. Nicely done, Mary Ann.

Sometimes it is not the instrument but the eye. Clearly your eye is excellent. Congrats!
