    Beautiful, painting like in it's quality as it fades off into the background. Great dof (depth of field) Colors are very pleasing. If I could just offer any room for improvement, it would have been to shoot from slightly lower vantage point to bring the roof peak over the mountains behind it. (maybe a half inch up or so) Excellent image

    I must say I agree with Gary's comments here. There is something blueish visible at the rear of the wooden shed and it bugs me slightly though.
    The pastel shades on the house are lovely indeed and everything else is nicely subdued.
    A simple photograph (always the best) that is a great success.
    Very well seen.

    Re: McCarthy

    Thanks Gary, that's the kind of help I am looking for. I have a (horrible) tendency to stand up for most of my shots, I need to explore different angles.

    Thanks Tom. I tend to look at the frame as a whole and that causes me to miss some smaller details. I had never noticed the blue "thing" before, until you mentioned it. Maybe a Ford tractor or something? Easily cloned out, which is something else I don't do often enough.
