    Randy,
    I really like these and the mood that the images evoke. Both are really great but I too like the first for the clouds and the more isolated feel I get from seeing the cabin set isolated in the setting.

    Number 1 is my fav of the two. It has a watercolor effect to it. Like the depth on the image and the lines from left to right.

    This is my kind of stuff, pard. I give the nod to the first one. The heightened sense of isolation it projects is fitting to the subject and scene. Hopefully, you'll find more such subjects on your journey.

    BTW....I saw your desert flower shot on the other posting. You cleverly passed it off as somewhat of a tribute to me. Those in the know, however, will recognize your thinly veiled attempt as more evidence of you drifting off into flower mania. I pray Tater doesn't catch on to your secret fixations....he would probably cease riding with you on the 'Wing. rolleyes1.gif

    Stay safe,

    Tom

    Howdy Pard,

    Thanks for looking in.

    As a general landscape shot I also prefer the first, as the building is the cherry on top, just what the scene needed to anchor it.

    The second shot is focused on the study of old buildings, as I made it the central point in the image.

    I'm pleased that the images were well received.

    As to the previous image you allude to:
    It hurts me to say it, but your harping on it only confirms what I have feared for quite some time. You are a closet flower lover!

    I posted a picture of bees, and you immediately focus only on the flower.
    I'm willing to stand in your corner as you fight this ailment! rolleyes1.gif

    Excellent work, as always! I prefer the first shot. As Tom says, it puts the building more in context. Both shots have that moodiness and make me think how lonely an existence that must've been.

    Obviously, I have missed something…….flowers? I will have to go back and catch up.

    Cheers,
    Lauren

    Very nice Randy!
    I'm liking #2 best... I like the closer view of the shack - especially seeing all the way through it.
    Super wide angle works well here.

    Howdy Eric,

    I need to shoot more with my 12-24, it does give that something special with the right subject.

    Thanks for the comments!

    Hi Randy, I prefer #1 with a view of the hills behind the cabin - to me it provides context for the location and increases the feel of desolation. Great sky.

    Cheers, Richard.

    I too prefer #2. As I see it #1 is a beautiful landscape that happens to contain a shack. In #2 the shack is more the subject and sits in a beautiful but foreboding environment. The shack is worthy of prominence here...lots of interesting detail, shapes, and texture including a better view of the two stone pillars the front rests on. Also it has depth in that you get to see some slight detail of the interior through the window and doorway.
