Re: PESO - Homestead #2
Hi Marnie I quite like this except that there is insufficient contrast on the left edge between the building and the background. Perhaps some masking to selectivly lighten the background?

It wasn't really sitting totally by itself, there was a chain link fence on the other side. Well, I will do a gallery someday for nephews, family history stuff that I am putting together. But I doubt I will put it on list, as some is just interesting from a family history viewpoint but not that photographically good. I do have one or two others of other old stuff from that trip that I may show on list someday, though. Thanks for the input.

I thought of tighter crop but I didn't think that would work. The playing with was blurring the background, unblurred it merged too much with the homestead.

RE: PESO - Homestead #2
Ummm... sorry not for me. I really can't pin down why though. I find the building itself to overpower the shot, maybe extending too far to the left, making the background portion on the far left side seem like a distraction. It does have some interest especially the spider webs in the corner of the window. It might like it better once I get my high-def monitor though.
