Well done!

Hi Susanne,

That is one nice house, wish I lived in it, nice photo my friend, the composition is great, and the detail is superb, nice colour, a good all round photo, maybe you should print and frame it and try to sell it to the owners of the house, I'm sure thay would love a framed print of that quality, a big well done matey.

Kind regards,

Mark.

Excellent structure and you captured it so wonderful. Love the colors set againt the green grass and the oh so blue sky. The architecture is so unusual. I think I found the dining room. Nice work Susanne. Have a good weekend.
