Hey Jack,
Dang!!! Man, that's dynamite. I mean DY-NA-MITE. It's a most unusual, interesting, and captivating perspective. Just a superior picture. Go to the head of the class.
Take it easy,

I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

Boy thanks a bunch for the very nice comments Tom. I was walking back to my car after taking some waterfall images and almost didn't feel like bothering to set up the tripod again. Glad I did tho.
Eye candy. So sweet. thumb
Aaron makes an interesting point worth consideration but I
personally don't see that incidental feature as a problem but more of a
+ to your final result.
really sweet image, i really enjoy all the scribble...for sure worth the re-set up to shoot.
but im really turned off by the seemingly white vignette around the framing of the outside scene. (within the window)
Thanks for the comments Aaron.
As for the "vignette". that's a haloing effect that often comes about when tone mapping HDR images. It's often seen where trees meet a blue sky. It can be minimized by lowering the micro contrast and increasing the micro smoothing but in this case I would have lost a lot of sharpness in the rest of the outdoors portion of the image. It can also be dealt with by using layer masking on two images where one is tonemapped for the interior and one for the exterior. Actually I like the way it turned out this way best having tried several methods. The haloing to me anyway, seems to emphasize the central portion of the scene and draw the eye into it.

Great composition and processing. Did you blend two images or do HDR?

This is absolutely top notch
It's like two separate images, each standing on it's own merits, but together form a superb image. Love the HDR also.
Hi Azzaro and Joel
Thanks for looking and for the nice comments. Glad you enjoyed it.

PS: you should have carved/wrote "Jack'll do" into the wood..
WOW, here you go again, very nicely seen and captured.
So much pleasing detail for the eyes to take in , and really interesting subject.

Thanks for the nice comment Jeff. It's a 5 image HDR (photomatix pro) tweaked a bit in CS3.

Thanks OOSS
I like wood grain also.
I did add my initials on the right side upright beam (in photoshop).
Thanks Randy
In working it up I felt it looked like a photograph in a coarse wood fram hanging behind the beams.
