Thank you, Shirley … I think winter light can be pretty spectacular … it came up on this one pretty well!!! So glad you like it, hon!!

Thank you!!!!!

Von, thank you … seriously … from the bottom of my heart. You know how sometimes you really feel like you “got it” ... well, that’s kind of how I feel about this one. Other than the fact that I wish I’d gotten the barn a little farther over to the left and up a bit (there were a lot of other cruddy buildings there that I knew I’d never be able to crop out) ... but other than that, I really worked hard on this one. I love love love HDR, and I felt like I finally got one the way I want it. Thank you so much for your dear comment. Coming from a master like yourself, it’s high, high praise!!!

Hello my dear ILpo. Thank you … I’m so honored!!!
