Description

This is an old dog kennel at Brendas farm. She has always had Great Danes as well as sheepdogs, but most of her dogs sleep in the caravan with her now. This has always made me laugh: you can imagine folk buying such a place as a holiday cottage. I'm rather pleased with my efforts to drop an interesting sky into what was a plain white space. Thankyou for your indulgent comments on yesterdays pic....most encouraging!

I really like what you have done here. Great shot, great post work. My only nit-pick would be, a little more foreground would be nice. So the structure isn't so close to the edge. Still a wonderful photo.

Again a stunning image which is allowed by the modeling quality of the light which sculpts the smallest leaves into the sensor. Thanks for sharing!

Hmmm, I see the dogs had TV. It's a great building and would lend itself well to some 3d artworks

This is a very nice shot. I'm sure you might have learned by now but a secret to making two images match in photo shop is to smuge the two together. Otherwise it will look like a copy and past. If you look closely to pictures there is a blur between two oblects. I do like this cobination though.
