Aaron,

Great composition and colors coming through on this pic. From the grey of the building to the green of the foliage to the colors of the fruits. The only thing I notice on this pic is it seems, atleast on my system, a tad blurry.

Hopefully my eyes haven't lost it,
Jared

Yes it looks a bit blurry to me as well,unfortunately this seems to be a result of compressing for posting for some reason, the original is qute a bit sharper.

No worries, I bet the full size version is very nice.

Looks like a goldmine for closeups.
Nice comp.

It is a great place, you can spend a week there easily and not wear out all the subjects. I re-did the upload,perhaps it is a bit better :)

I reworked the "resize" in PS instead of another program, it made considerable difference.

Thought it needed a boost.
Hope you don't mind.

I don't mind at all, I had not done much to it other than cropping and resizing, your "boost" looks great -- thanks!

What a lovely place to photograph.

I like this a lot and my only minor critique would be that the bottom pumpkin seems to have been cropped and it would have been nice to draw back a little same for the light fitting at the front of the picture

A lovely scene and a very nice photo.
Huge potential all round here. That window is very inviting indeed. But everywhere you look there are subjects within subjects.

Thanks all for the constructive comments and compliments, I really appreciate them all --- Roger I see what you mean on your commen, however that is the bottom of the frame - good point in relation to the lighting.

Nice shot Aaron. The comp is very good. Gives me the feel of Pilgrams and carving a turkey. Looks like a great place to visit.
