Beautiful shot. I love the light, which you've captured well with what appears to be a near perfect exposure. Did you shoot more? It looks like planning slightly to the right might have improved the frame a wee bit. But that might not be true. It all depends on what that would have opened up on

Dave, The day and image are nicely suited. Grey days and weathered wood are a couple of my favorite things. Is the mill dry and approachable on the other side? (in case you do have access at some point). Jack --- Dave Kennedy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A collegue and I planned a photo outing

Nice shot. This is one where I would probably do a bunch of experimenting with post processing. It might look great in BW or some kind of desaturated state. Possibly even some type of watercolor filtering could be very cool. -- Bruce Wednesday, October 26, 2005, 7:13:54 AM, you wrote: DK A

Hi, I agree with Bruce. I just did a quick sepia conversion and then desaturated it a bit to yield a warm-toned greyscale. Other approaches may also work well. My only small concern is the composition. Showing the complete rightmost window would and the complete rightmost dormer , to my mind,
