Thanks for the review.

Lovely image....not too sure about the frame tho....love the light outside the other door and the featured man on the bike

Thanks, you are right. The frame was put in when I went mad about framing all my shots. I too, now see it doesn't add to the overall image. Thanks again.

I like the frame within a frame concept - well executed -

PRO

Thanks. Surprised you like the boxed in effect.... All your images show the freedom and the breath taking magnificence of open nature so masterfully captured..thanks again:)

wonderful composition, although I would prefer it without the frame as it has its own framework:-)

PRO

Thanks, these were the days I went crazy about framing all my images. Appreciated.

amazing capture, love it! Brilliant composition and lighting, lovely textures and derails!

Love the lighting, the tie-in of new and old as shown by the coat of arms and the bicyclist; and the combinations and contradicitions of both materials and textures .... beautifully composed together to create a pretty, peaceful and pleasing image ... Great job :)
