Good thing those old folks don't move very fast! :D

Nice shot and composition. It seems a little bright to me but that's just my personal taste.

Thanks navydoc.....very relaxed lifestyle up here...no hurry.
As usual, I let the sky and clouds be my guide for exposure..no blown whites and no black clouds.

I'm not a great fan of HDR, but I do love this shot. It stirs an emotion in me that makes me want to go there and see it in the flesh, and that is really what good photography is all about for me.

Nice to see a blended image where the sky doesn't look like Doom's Day!

Great "Lazy Summer" feel to it...

A very nice capture of a bit of Americana! What part did Topaz play? I don't have this software so I'm wondering what it does that Photoshop doesn't.

Thanks Qbx...It is actually Americana in Canadiana :) . Topaz is fairly common with HDRI junkies like the old Lucisart - used with PS it can improve details....gives an image pop. I use it at the end of PP stage reduced down on a layer. Try the trial. http://www.topazlabs.c​om/adjust/ (external link)
You could probably use a defog/local contrast effect in PS to achieve same result - dunno.
