Daniel, A very pleasant composition.

Very nice Daniel. I think I like it better cropped right at the bottom of the building - top of rock wall, yet still seeing the distant pasture on top right edge. Beautiful tones as usual.

Thanks for your comments, Donald and Victor. I wanted to keep the building in the composition, but toned it down considerably to keep it from pulling the eye too much. I thought it would be a minor stopping point for the eye following the path of the lines.

All the best,
Daniel

Thanks Jan and John. Jan, the toning I used was sequential- selenium first and then thiocarbamide. It works the other way around as well. Have fun, and I look forward to seeing your results.

All the best,
Daniel

Cropping (I known, it is "not done") the house in the left corner makes the image much stronger imho, don't you think Daniel?

Hmmm, that's two votes now for lopping off the house (I don't have any qualms about cropping; heck, this started out as a square neg and it has already lost a telephone pole). I'll consider it, and I do appreciate your suggestions.

All the best,
Daniel
