Beautiful light there Greg. I like the paths leading to the Sheep at the back of the shed. I seem to be left wanting for a bit more sky though, maybe just because I am viewing on the small screen of the iPad, will look again on the big mac screen when I am home next week.

Nice Greg. As mentioned there's multiple leading lines in the foreground which really draws the eye into the image.

Thanks both of you.

Brad the sky was a bit of a problem for me and I didn't really want to replace it in PP. The Forestry Commission in Tasmania is doing a lot of hazard reduction burns in the area and the sky is a real wash out at the moment.

I did my best to bring out a bit of color but it still didn't sparkle as I would like it. I decided just to crop out most of it as I wanted the focus to be on the shed, sheep and foreground.

Cheers and thanks for the comments.

G'day Greg

I think you've got iy just about perfect - the sky is quite okay and well balanced by the mono-tone grass and its walking paths
The building in between each of the others bits fits perfectly

Thanks Phil, I might do this again early morning when the fires have settled. I like it but think I can do better. (Only 10 minutes from home on the way to Sheffield).

Found out a bit of history on this one. Before it's relocation and new life as a shearing shed, the building was a Primary School at Gowrie Park during the construction of the Mersey Forth Hydro electric scheme.

The new school building replacing it in 1968, was at the time the largest Primary school in the state with 23 different languages being spoken by the students/families.

That was back in the days when we welcomed immigrants from all over!

Hi Greg

And we as a nation should still be welcoming immigrants from all over ... as 99% of us are the children / grandchildren of immigrants before us
