Oh yes I feel very blessed to live in the Blackdown Hills area - it is a beautiful part of the world. West Dorset isn't too shabby either - Lyme Regis is a regular destination for us.

Thank you .. I was going for a high contrast with the monotone version .. perhaps I could have burned the edges back in but preferred it without .. cheers for commenting :)

Thank you .. no special processing - I use Luminar 2018 to open raw files, add a touch of Topaz Clarity and just general contrast/levels adjustments. Perhaps the bottles look 'cleaner' due to being placed against a fuzzy background display maybe? I was wishing they'd used sharper graphics on the box but had no control over that lol :)

Thank you to all who voted for my entry - your votes are appreciated :) I was avoiding plants (as in the rules) but did not think fruit would be on that list - even though obviously part of a plant! Anyway, it was too late to withdraw so lesson learned for futures!
