Country Home for rent.














































I shot this image last spring during a photo competition. I didn't end up using the image for the competition but I had a hard time ruling it out. After seeing my competition I wish I had used it but as they say "hind sight is always 20/20". This brings up a question that I often wonder about, just who are "they"? Well that is a subject for another time, back to the image of discussion. I really had a hard time deciding whether or not to include this image. I really like the gray and brown colors of the post and vines contrasted against the blue sky. The hint of yellow and green from the flowers add some visual interest to the image. I wanted to enter this image into the photographers choice category but I chose an image that was technically a much harder shot than this one. Unfortunately the winning image had no technical merit to it at all, it just happened to be the prettiest. However, I did win 1st place in the human interest category, maybe I'll share that image in a future post. This is my first post and I hope to write a new post each week. I will be traveling to France and England in January for 3 weeks and I may not be able to post while I am gone. If I get the time I will definitely share some of my photos before I return home.


Well enjoy and feel free to comment on my images or my blog.
