Wow, Robin … I was gonna yell at you for tipping the dang house, but on closer inspection, I see any number of lines that would suggest themselves as “local vertical”, but each one’s different! Jeeze! I reckon I’ll just keep ma mouf shut.
But … the photo at full-size looks pretty fine, but in sizes that fit the screen, or indeed, the size above, look like an impressionist painting … kinda granular, and vibrating all over the place. I think it might be considered oversharpened for this size. If I’m going to show something in a reduced size, I reduce it first, then sharpen. If I’m selling a huge size, I ask if the person wants it sharpened or not.
BTW, is this HDR? I see blurry leaves next to sharp leaves …
LOL … other than that, it’s a great photo … these old places, a bit neglected, are great subjects.
D,hanks for your suggestions. I’ll have to keep that in mind. Yes, it’s a five shot HDR. I quite like playing with them, but they can be finicky! I think one needs five shots for all the shadows and highlights, but it hard to keep everything from moving for that long!
wow! a very fertile roof! 🙂

T, lol, no kidding! I couldn’t get over the tree growing up there!

What a beautiful shot, Robin. I love the forsythia that still grows in front of the house.

Pat, we’ve been driving up and down that road for years. Never saw that. House until yesterday! The Forsythia was just coming into bloom! Thank you!
