Beautiful lines, colour and contrasts in this photo. If there was one critique that I would pass along that a filter should have been utilized on the camera, therefore loosing the reflection on the window. Small thing to worry about - but would be awesome to see this photo without one. For a known precise photographer - this little thing would not have been noticed. #4741265

Beautiful picture, great gallery.(thanks for viewing mine)Excuse my ignorance, but did you deepen the colors or add the colors to the house ? don't know much about ps.thanks Gail #5460370

February 10, 2008

Beautiful composition and vibrant colors. Wonderful shot! #5473297

Patrick Rouzes February 10, 2008

Thanks again, everyone!!!
Gail. no .I did not deepen the colors with photoshop!!! The only alteration with ps is the red line on the far right. I do not have any experience with any kind of effects but hoping to learn soon. I sent this to my good frind, Mike ,who fixed the red line but everything else is straight form the camera. There is some sharpeneing & tuning with Picasa though!!!Thanks for asking. #5475623
