Beautiful. What does your front yard look like? Wide open space?

Thanks JT! No not exactly. I just shot it at 300mm (390 on the Mark IIN) which cut out all the houses. Helps that we're on a hill
Cheers,
Bruce

Chop the dark clound on the top off, its distracting.

^^^ Yeah right, I love that dark cloud. Keep it exactly how it is. I feel warm just looking at that photo.

I disagree. But whatever floats your boat.

Thanks guys! No tree house. Just on a hill. We have a distant view of parts of Bodmin Moor and there are some pretty awesome sunsets out there!

I like the dark cloud too. Dark on bottom. Dark on top. Sorta frames the bright light in the middle. It's all subjective. Some people liked the mole on Marylin Monroe's face. Lots of women put fake ones on. Some Africans put saucers in their lips and rings on their necks and they think it's beautiful. It's all subjective, right? There is politics in art though, but don't let it get ya down.

Thanks for that guys! I like it the way it is too, but then, that's just the way it was.
