I know I already posted a comment, so I should just edit that... but you won't get a notice if I do, so you probably won't see the edit. Could you post the original so we can see the effect of the post processing? I'm not doubting the quality of the original or assuming you exaggerated with post processing, I'm just curious as I'm not too good with Photoshop either.

Congrats on you PB and blue ribbon... We had a roadtrip from Umhlanga to Bloemfontein on Friday and it took us more than 12 hours due to all the photo opportunities. Fantastic work!

Thank you all for the very kind comments. I really appreciate and all credit goes to my patient wife who allows me to go on hikes. Soon she would have to join me however once my youngest of 4 are able to join in and carry his own backpack. Not long to go. Untill then my 7 and 10 year olds are doing an amazing job at rugging it out in nature and loving it as much as dad. My own dad at 69 I have new respect for since he did make this trip with us..as he has done so on countless of other occasions. He always puts up with my bad cooking and makes the food disappear somewhere over a cliff...(yes I know dad) Eating does not feature to highly on the priority list.
Thanks once again to all. Best whishes for a great 2010. Soccer world cup in SA...what a year we are looking forward to.
Botes family.
