The TREE!!! its got to go  Grin

It to me ads nothing to this shot, it doesn't fit the title, and distracts me in the photo...

The colors are spot on, they are great!!!  The concept is nice, but that dang tree. I know there isn't much you can do with the tree... but its the only complaint I have with the photo.

Has Micro$oft forever destroyed the image of the green rolling hills and blue sky with wisps of clouds?  I still like this one though.
The colors are great and the composition is spot on.

Thank you. Well, I am a Mac user and do not think about MickySoft when I see such a scene... but I understand that such a association is painfull and maybe even disgusting. Smiley

The tree? Hmmm. Not sure if I want it to be gone. It would look like a cheap rendering without that organic part, methinks. However, some more lights on the door (just a tiny bit) might be a good idea.

Anyone noticed the shape of the shadow? I was triggered to see the wings of a angel.

Hello.
In this photo i like the look of the sky, it's smooth, when the earth is grainy. This make nice feeling for me... But i think the "house" part is too dark, there are not many details visible. As i like details in pictures, this part is not "speaking" to me (Maybe it's just my display such dark).
Regards

Thank you, Ernest. A helpfull feedback. The door is too dark under certain circumstances, I agree. At home, in a moderately dark room on my calibrated TFT it is just right in brightness (at least for my liking), but e.g. here at work in a bright room, the door looks definitely to dark.

On the other hand, if you'll make the shack lighter, you'll loose that nice graphical "silhouette" effect...

Yes, eob. I think this one is really problematic in terms of the balance of light and shadow. Need to print it and see what happens when seen as a subtractive color model instead of the additive screen view...
