Well done for winning my challenge thanks for entering - this is amlovely picturesque little building I t makes you want to know who lives in a house like this the windows are particularly interesting in the round part - The only thing that spoils this picture is the wheelie bins sadly a part of everyday life now

Location
This is a photograph of a small quintessentially english thatched cottage in the village of Scremby in Lincolnshire.Time
It was taken mid afternoon on a beautiful bright sunny day when the garden was looking magnificent.Lighting
The weather condition were perfect for this naturally lit shot.Equipment
This was shot on a Nikon D7000 with a 300mm lens hand held.Inspiration
I'd taken a detour on my was to work because the afternoon was perfect to capture this idyllic cottage. I walked up and down the road and tried to position myself to get the best angle for this shot. I couldn't remove everything modern like the tv aerial and the wheelie bins, but I managed to ensure the weren't the first thing that caught the eye.Editing
The only post processing on this photograph was to tweak the colours just a touch in lightroom.In my camera bag
I usually carry my camera with its kit lens and my favourite 300mm lens everywhere with me.Feedback
I keep a look out for unusual buildings or anything of interest whilst I'm on my travels. I am also a member of several photography groups on facebook and make a mental note of places I would like to visit. I'm never stuck for ideas, but often stretched for time.
