Same place as the other two.

The trees in the rows almost look like single trees bent over from wind. I would have to say this is unique and interesting. Nice work there Mr. Hudon.

Mark, this comp has a unique feel to it and I really like it, except for one thing... if the nearer house was an old farmhouse rather than a more modern one then it would really throw this image over the top for me. If the house were not even there and all you had in the scene was the far structure then it would be great too. Is there a way you can go back and get an angle where you could do just that? Regardless, good work!

BTW, it almost looks like you sucked the color out of everything but the two houses...

I agree with you, Geoff, an old farm house would really have made it. As it is, I've already cloned out a car that I didn't like. I have one of the orchard without the houses but really, that's a different shot.

Now go back over there and try to sell them a picture of their house :biggrin: I really like the lines here Mark, which do accentuate the home.

I'd like to see the one of the orchard and no structures...
