Hi Tim, What is Longwood Gardens?

I think the top photo is a great example of how to shoot in low light. Well done!

Beautiful night shots. I thought the first picture was a Disneyland shot. Looks like one I took of the Matterhorn ride through the lit trees. All are very pretty.

Hi, kevin stilley. Longwood Gardens was purchased by industrialist Pierre S. du Pont in 1906, Longwood offers 1,050 acres of gardens, woodlands, and meadows; 20 outdoor gardens; 20 indoor gardens within 4 acres of heated greenhouses; 11,000 different types of plants; spectacular fountains; extensive educational programs including classes, horticultural career training and internships; and 800 horticultural and performing arts events each year--from flower shows, gardening demonstrations, courses, and children's programs to concerts, organ and carillon recitals, musical theatre, and fireworks displays. It is located in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania.

Thanks, san nakji. None of the two Christmas lights shot communicates the real glory though.

Thanks, photowannabe. Glad you enjoyed them.

Your are a great user of photoshop and I would like to know how to do a beautiful cutting out like the one you did for the orchis, happily your back ground is white though !!!
I believe it's the first one you ever showed ?

Is it a garden/park whereby they light up the place? Pretty!

Thanks, merili. It does have the touch of the magical.

Thanks, sage. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks, choochoo. They were a pleasure to see.

Thanks, cergie. In Photoshop Elements 5.0 there is a marquee tool that can be rectangular or eliptical. The tool is located below or next to the eyedropper. I selected the eliptical marquee tool to enclose the orchids, selected the copy function, and pasted it into a new blank picture. This may have been the first eliptical picture that I posted; I'm not quite sure.

Thanks, shionge. I think you pretty much have the correct idea. There is also a very large greenhouse conservatory and a museum there.
