Gates of Moria?

Hmm...if you took out some of the trees (IIRC there were only two, either side of the entrance), and darkened/widened the pool that would probably work, certainly looks similar to what I'd pictured.

its Mallam Cove in Yorkshire, unfortunately there isn't a pool in front of the cliffs.

{{{Do you have an unfiltered version of that Figg?}}}

I don't have Photoshop or any other programme, only Photobucket editing option which is crap so I cant alter any photos much.

Edge of The Shire?

{{{Thats a lovely picture.
And thanks for the original of the other one- it wasn't any comment on your photoshopping skills, merely that I fancied having a go at adding more lake and removing the trees and best practise is to start with the original image}}}

Did you do that one too, Petty?

{{yeah, believe it or not its base is the picture Figg put up earlier- if you look closely above where the holly trees are you can see the crack in the cliff from where the two cliffs meet in the original}}}

{{{I thought, if there is an interest, I might do more of these turning photos into book location things.
But as its a bit time consuming would be handy if you good folks did the finding of pictures to try to alter- the bigger the resolution the better.
In the meantime here's the making of the Moria one}}

holy crap that's complicated to do are the big trees the base for the two small ones?

{{Yeah, I cut out the tree from that picture then put it in place in the cliff one (once Id removed all the trees from it and put the lake in) then I took the same tree again, but flipped it horizontally so it didn't look quite the same as the first holly tree, then I used the clone brush to copy bits of the holly tree to 'bush' them out a bit more and define them against the backdrop better- and bingo 2 holly trees at the base of a cliff!}}

Damn, I tried to look to see if it was a reworked version of Figgy's picture but I didn't see anything until you mentioned it. Really impressive! I'll keep my eyes peeled for other potential base images cause I'd love to see more of your work.

If you ever get the chance to go here then go. Great place. Singapore, Garden Bay.

How exciting !

Well, it is !
