This shot has some minor issues like the fuzzy area in the left hand doorway of the shed (due to an unnoticed drop of water on the lens), the houses in the distance sitting right on the roof-line, the slight anti-clockwise skew - and anything else you might consider to be up for improvement.

Please feel free to fix whatever you consider to be needing fixed.

JPG here, DNG to follow.

Nice job MMC. The houses are gone without trace. I think cloning might turn out to be the best option for the doorway - that drop of water took away most of the detail and light from that area. I've had a go at adjusting it away, but with limited success.

PS - The sky looks good too :thumbup: .

Nice extension, Dannac. Looks cosy enough to live in :) .

Thanks for your contribution, Bill. I hadn't thought of lightening the whole door-frame. My own edit was starting to look a bit dark and patchy in that area. I'll try your approach.

I was wondering who would be the first to get rid of the building and power line poles amongst the trees.

Thanks for contributing, Roadking. I think the house might just be a washhouse, but it seems "at home" in its surroundings. This part of Speyside is in the foothills of the Grampian Mountains.

Thanks for participating, Gaylord. I've come to expect interesting edits from you. This one is very tidy and nicely finished.

Thanks for comment R.G. The original sky, which was very nice was drawing much of my attention, so this is why I changed it.

All the edits look good, but I was struck by the original composition. The natural beauty of the scene means there isnt much need for more than slight tweaking to taste. I'm not even started yet editing anything, still intimidated by the size and scope of doing PP. I was a film nut many years ago, the only thing I've tried up until a few months ago was some prety good point and shoots. Shots like this still make me want to get out into the countryside and see what I can find. Thanks for posting.

You're welcome, Chazz. If you look at the whole range of post processing possibilities it will seem daunting, but if you focus on learning just basic photo tweaking it'll narrow it down quite a bit and everything you learn will be of value.

I'm glad this shot has inspired you to go looking for things to shoot. Once again there's nothing wrong with starting off with the obvious stuff - scenery etc - and it's amazing what you can find once you're actually out there looking (this last point is a vital ingredient :lol: ).
