    I'm guessing the color balance is off in at least one, if not both, of the photos, simply because they don't match up color wise.

    And I'm guessing you used the onboard flash because it looks odd on the second photo. Maybe slow down the shutter speed to let ina little more ambient light.

    There was an of WB and WB mismatch in PP. They are both have a slight vignette applied. Tis is some miles away, so next chance I get to reshoot will likely be under different circumstances.

    Thanks for looking.

    I re-did them.

    I like the first shot better then the second. But this begs the question, 'Why is there a fire hydrent in the middle of the woods?'

    It is not at all far from the center of a township. This was mostly farm land through a couple centuries. Though it is woods now, there may have been part of a large farm. There is a very large ornate barn on the next property over that this may have once gone with.ne_nau.gif

    Perhaps not a fire hydrant but part of an old irrigation system, or perhaps a well head? Interesting.
