Greetings from Norfolk, UK Nice to have comments on my work. I agree that a 12 M file would be a good starting point, BUT when that is compressed to the size for submission there is still a loss of detail. I agree that I should have rotated the picture a little anti clockwise, and that the green is perhaps a bit off in colour in the foreground, but the field and bush in front of the building are a good representation of the original. I cannot agree that there is dead space on the left hand side, the building needs to be defined, and addition of a background here would distract the eys on entry to the picture. Yes, the sky could be improved by addition of some soft clouds. These are my thoughts, your further views welcome Richard.
