This is an old house preserved (well, kept there anyway) on the Biltmoor Estate in Asheville, NC. You cannot see it unless you take a horseback ride, which we did. I took several pictures and views and is part of my 'old houses/barns' theme. I'll post a couple of other views and see how any of you like the differences in views.

No PP except to sharpen. Blue sky was great that day as we had a cool front coming through. This little HP takes GREAT daytime pics of landscapes and I once thought of selling it, but I think I'll keep it around since for that it does very well.

Cloned out the pylon and used the scratch remover tool to take out the powerlines.

Hi Gary,

I have made the following changes/enhancements:

- crop: bottom and left. (The small part of road was disturbing and I tried to get closer to the 1/3 lines)
- Contrast: +7 on the entire photo
- Brightness -4
- highlights +10
- Shadows +4
- Saturation on blue and Red (+21, +12)
- USM 59% 1px 7 threshold

I hope you see what I mean and like the result
