This is very nicely done Brian, the strength of the shadows really make the sun shine as does that shaft of light under the distant trees. Lovely.

Thank you Denise, I'm pleased the effect I achieved by contrasting the shadows against untreated paper. Thanks for your comment Stephen.

Wonderful warm and sunny feel created from the deep shadows Brian. I like the treatment of the tower also.
