Pisgah National Forest

These buildings are part of the old forest ranger training camp in the Pisgah National Forest. I lost a lot of quality in optimizing, so I hope it looks ok.

It looks to be an interesting place to visit John, but the harsh sunlight spoils it slightly.

Did some Gamma, Brightness and Contrast tweak on this...

I think that it has helped, and perhaps a bit of burning on the wooden siding and path near the first building would also be beneficial.

I`m of the same oppinion,the light is too harsh.

Hi John;
Fundamentally I think you've got a good image there... Yes, you could play with a bit of PP - but you need the image first!
Looks like a great place... Seems to be still in use - flowers in the box ?

Thanks guys. It was a difficult time of day to shoot. Lots of harsh lighting and shadows to deal with. Unfortunately, we were just passing through this area and couldn't pick our best light due to our schedule.

I appreciate all of your comments.

Actually I prefer your original image.
