    Howdy Bud,

    WOW, that really is a very pretty setting, and it looks like it might
    be a while before your sipping tea on that bench:D

    Really a very beautiful shot, lots of detail and things to entertain the eye.
    Take care,

    Thats a cool idea...however i think you need to pay closer attention to the tonemapping filter or whatever filter you applied here. Too me ny screen shows the bench fairly blurry. Thanks for the post keep em coming,

    Love the concept of this photo.
    You have some odd halo type effect around the chair ?

    I love Snow, mostly because it never snows in the part of Australia that I live.

    Very pretty shot Bud thumb.gif ... Skippy :D

    Craig, ButterNutz, Skippy,

    Thanks for the comments. The blur, halo and any other artifacts come from using the "Orton" effect. I'm a sucker for that process especially when the original was not quite as sharp as it should have been. (Shot through the back door window. Excuses, excuses. :D) Also, I think it lends some sort of 'artistic' effect to a shot coming from someone with not an artistic bone in his body. Oh well........... here's the original.

    One more attempt to make this shot an appealing 'keeper', we had another inch or so of snow and this morning the sun came out. I widened the shot to include a maple tree and the sun added the shadows from the garage. I'm done. Thanks for looking and commenting. :D
