[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Going through my shots from last winter I came across this one which I kinda like.
For many years I've wanted a mansion on a hill. Got the idea from the Bruce Springsteen song. But looking at estate agents' websites I've come to realise that the house in this shot is about the nearest to such a mansion that I'm likely to afford. At least in the foreseeable future. Ah well, I'm told the good things come to those who wait, so I'll keep doing just that :-)
Apart from cropping, I've played with levels, saturation and shadows/highlights. If I remember correctly, I also removed a small tree.
Thanks for any comments and advice.

Cheers / Eric

Hi Eric,
Funny note! I've always learned never to stop dreaming!
Photo is nice and the little mansion seems to jump out of the picture... just wondering whats inside...
Have a nice day,
Alex

Nice work Eric although the composition is good I prefer less of the right side and a bigger submit :-) nice detail and good light all the best for the new yr Necip.

Nice soft wintry tones. I like the space to the right as it adds perspective and balance to the composition. Very nice!

rgds,

Hi Eric.
Excellent composition, like a paint.
I like it your tight cropping, well done.
Thanks for sharing.

Yasin.

Nice photo, evokes a certain moody contemplation. Nice composition and color balance. Well done. Did you apply any sharpening in your photoshop processing?

nice shot...i love your mansion on the hill lol..tfs

belle photo merci Eric

Very nice light in this shot, Eric. Although I like the elongated format, I think it could show a bit more on the left (the tree should not touch the frame). Still, a very nice picture!

fantastic composition Eric and aptly titled! very well done

jaco
