Hi Tim,

Hi Tim,

I like the pp work and the POV, but I'm a little distracted by the house being tilted to the right. I know it's that pesky lens distortion from that Sigma, but I would have had to straighten it out.

I have that lens, too, and love the distortion until I hate it, if you know what I mean...

Excellent B&W Tim
You have created a superb mood here. Did you intend the house to lean a bit for effect? I think I would have tried to straighten it a bit. Sorry I'm an accountant things have to be straight and balanced Ha! Ha!
