It was only a matter of time for my young Padawan. Can you say "Sith Happens"? LOL

Cheers fella.

Got the focus right on this one.

Great detail on the petals and stamen. I reckon you have a bonus inclusion there too! Looks like a spider or flying insect of some sort is at about the four o'clock position in between the petals.

I'm going to subject you all to reworked edits of my images for a while to come, as I perfect the editing techniques. Here is the first, a frustrating interior capture with about five differing sources of light within this frame of Saint Peters Cathedral, North Adelaide, South Australia.

The tallest standing stone in England isn't on some windswept moor; it's in the churchyard of the parish church in the tiny village of Rudston in East Yorkshire (of course, the stone predates the church by nearly 3,500 years)...

Was the church built there for some reason related to the stone? Is there some spiritual aspect to the specific location do you know?

From Wikipedia... "The Norman church was almost certainly intentionally built on a site which was already considered sacred, a practice which was common through the country, indeed the name of Rudston is thought to come from the Old English "Rood-stane", meaning "cross-stone", implying that a stone already venerated was adapted for Christian purposes"...

Credit where credit is due mate... You are producing some output niw which is really quite special.

Thanks Ken, that's really kind of you to say.

Yeah it does look like one of our horrible arachnid friends lurking in there doesn't it.
