  Nice idea Jo! I like second one! The houses or building at distance.....bit distracting....I would consider taking them out. Cheers!

  I see above that Taz is swinging the " erasing " sword again. In this case, I would too. In fact, far more than not, I agree with Taz when he suggests such moves.
  
  I like this work here, Jo. Initially, I wasn't too sold on the signs but they provide a great feel and context to the images. I like them now. I'm excited about seeing your work as it evolves during your exploration of this new find. Go get'um.
  
  Take care,

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

  Taz - as usual, you are right. I removed the homes in the background, took out my large obnoxious signature and made it smaller and on the sign. I contemplated removing the sprinkler, but thought I would probably just mess that up.:D

  Looks like someone put up graffiti on the sign since last time you took the shot!:D
  Looks less busy and lovely!
  Cheers!

  I like these. I think I prefer #1 due to the shallow depth of field and the detail on the closest vine. Good idea.

  Love these shots and your bw treatment, and would love to see more like this. The first shot I thought was a snow scene on first glance. Very nice! --Carter
