Farmhouse

Wonderful warm architecture and beautiful lighting and tones (never mind the lens flare), but the wire should be removed!

I really enjoy the lens flare in this shot (no idea why, really), as for the wire? Very unpopular! LOL I preferred this angle and unfortunately that was the side the wire is on. I suppose I could clone it out, feels like I'm "doctoring" it too much.

This is great in b/w, Tim. It adds mystery to the shot ...even a cold feeling. The wire does'nt bother me at all. Well done, my friend. Regards, Lawrence.

Thanks Lawrence! I'm pretty much a full-blown HDR shooter now. I'm addicted to the amazing detail it brings out. 

The flare adds a spiritual touch, almost as if there's more here than one might thing.  I like how the little puff of smoke from the chimney is echoed in the clouds.

Excellent B&W rendering/conversion Tim. Nice shadow angles and the steam coming from the chimney.  Minimal flare doesn't bother me either.

Looks cold!  Looks old.

Thanks for taking the time!
