Every once in a while, Jimbob, you post a shot that is so eloquent that it blows me away with a wisp. There is something you do in the editing process that I can't explain but that creates an almost phantasmagoric feel to it. Your last posting was more of what I call photojornalistic, slightly tweaked but more of a "what you see is what you get" feel. On this one you seem to have pushed the editing envelope just a bit. Maybe because you do this sort of shot rarely, I seem to enjoy them even more than your usual stuff, which by the way is typically fantastic as well. It's almost like you've overlaid an acetate sheet of an Andrew Wyeth painting on top of the photo. Whatever it is that you do, it bowls me over. This one is a stunner. Apparently I've been forcefully removed from the AC or I would have nominated this. At the very least, you are hereby awarded one fave, three "fabs" and 1.7 "awesomes".

This is so cool. I can image General Ulysses S. Grant & his calvary riding up on their horses. Love the treatment you used ... really brought out the detail. Excellent work, Jim.

I think you have mesmerized Dodger with your work JimboB. I have to agree with him about your work being something special. It is always so well edited and the composition is always top notch. I still remember the blue cow. Wonderful work again.

Jimbo, this kool prospective. It almost looks like a picture painting. Very well done.

maybe...just maybe a tad too much FDR mate!

Great compo though!..

A very nice image with very good clarity, colours and also presentation. The sky looks great Jimbob.

Cute and beautiful place, it has its history. Nice shot, Jim.

What a Fascinating place.Stunning photo and work,Jim.

Oh, very beautiful and unusual. It's so colorful, I like it very much, nice work.

Love the look of the inside, really like this capture of the old fort Jimbob

I like the contrasting buildings, one painted blue like the sky, the other worn wood. Great find and shot!

Nice post and a great job on this!!

I like the technique you are using in these fort photos. Nice composition too.

Ah, nice one! The colors are really special on this one. I like the way you use the HDR too.

Jim, I can agree with the others, 100%. ♥♥tigs=^..^=

You've framed the fort expertly Jimbob, but the upload looks a bit too bleached out for my tastes, that's just my personal opinion though.

It's a really well composed and textured shot - HDR is a matter of taste most of the time.

Love how you composed this shot!

A lovely composition of the scene, Jimbob. The photo has a nice illustration look and feel to it. Great details and textures.

This hi def scene is just to good for words my friend. Great work.

Love the color and the technique!
