New Home Page - what do you think?

OK OK I'll try and get it on there today!

Wow Kathy, respect. If that's eight stitched shots, then the minor photoshop mods that I've suggested will be a breeze (assuming that you agree, of course).

Should have got him to put on a different coloured jumper

Your choice. In general, I like my pix to have a 'focal point' that immediately catches the eye and then allows viewers to roam around the frame at leisure. A little splash of colour (doesn't have to be too strident) is a reliable formula.

Can't really change the colour of the parasol can I? As that's the one that's there......

Your choice. Wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

Yes, that's the one that's there now, not the red one that was there at the time you took that photo a few years ago...

That was easy, Zoombrowser (Canon) you've got to take them in stitch mode then just lined up the pics and clicked on Stitch!

Ooh! Sneaky! I'll give it a go later NC.

Only one comment...are they goat skins on the sofas?

Um yes, cushion covers - Himalayan apparently, is that bad?

Not at all I was just thinking about the sensitivity for other posters here! Just a joke.
Information to other forum readers about stitching together photos. Like Katie says her camera has this facility as do a lot on newer cameras too. If your camera does not have this then maybe look at this software, it is not free but it can do a lot more tricks.

We use an older version. Here is a photo we took last year. And pasted together using the software. It is of a Celtic village.

That's beautiful Ian! (Or is it Irene?)

Re the goatskin cushions, they're lovely and snuggly so they're staying. Someone here has already mentioned that the leather sofas would put some people off, well I'm not going to be changing them either anytime soon! Sorry.

I prefer the look of your new homepage. What a beautiful place! But, actually, I think your house looks lovely and characterful. I would actually put a picture of it on your new homepage.I would take off the picture of the sitting room, which somehow doesn't fit with the other pictures. There is a great feeling of space from the other pictures, but not from the one of the sitting room.

I think the second version is much more enticing to the holidaymaker but am glad you say that you will put the picture of the house back on another page.

Don't tuck it away, it's a nice house and your clients will want to see it somewhere prominent.

[KathyG]

Hmm I'll have a think about that - struggling to find anywhere to put it at the moment...............

I wondered what had happened to my Auntie Mabel; who'd have thought she'd end up as three cushions.

Seriously, the killer shot is now in its right place, as everyone says although I've always thought your house was pretty Kathy.

Have you thought of taking a new shot of the front of it for inclusion and using that, as the decking etc rather confuses the eye. The decking is great to have, and as long as you still show the other pic of the sunloungers on it with the pool and that amazing view, you're OK.

[KathyG]

Yes you're right Jane, it is a bit confusing. I have a few pics of the front, I'll go and see if any of them are any good although there is a telegraph pole right in the way so it might be difficult to get a decent shot of it.
