Both are excellent photos, to me. I cannot pick a favorite because each gives a different but interesting perspective to the scene, which is great,btw.
Thank you, I am still not totally satisfied with either.
Sort of like "You are not in Kansas anymore.." except of course you are! I do wonder about the family who established this home. Thanks for commenting.
Thanks for your comment. I considered doing just that but hesitated. I think if I had added more foreground it could have added to the story but the road as shot did turn out to be more of a distraction.
Thank you, I am still experimenting with PP. There is so much going on as far as Dynamic Range, color subtleties and sharpness vs softness that there is plenty to work with.
Thanks for the info. On my way to Virginia rt 36 was the best way to avoid construction on I80. I was so impressed with the absolutely lovely small towns and countryside I followed 36 from Hannibal to almost North Platte. Spent two lovely but rainy days in Hannibal and a full day in Marysville. I am hoping to return to VA next year and will likely revisit parts of 36.
