Thanks to you both. Maybe that's a regression purposely throwing the distance out of focus to try to make it look like a Pictorialist painting from the end of the 18th century. But I liked the effect. Am experimenting more lately and getting some positive results. #5541819

What an excellent use of light! #6004379

Thanks, Candice. When I was a boy, my parents had a painting that hung in our living room that looked just like this. Maybe that's what inspired me. #6019653

Excellent lighting choice, without a doubt! Lovely colors too... I really like this! #6024177

Thanks, Katrina. It's that really late afternoon sun that did it. Early morning sun will do the same, but I don't get up early enough for that. :) #6024307
