Middleplaas Farm
This is my second landscape ever.  We were camping at this site earlier in the year.  I loved the way the fence danced in the dappled sunlight and the sharp light of the sun in the distance.

I am really battling with the technicality of posting my photos.  The camera keeps "bending" the painting and I find I must crop some sides out to keep out non-painting information.  There are many other challenges like glare, keeping the colours true etc.  If you have any suggestions please drop a line!  I've got one book on Digital Photography and I'm going to get another about photoshop or similar.  So I hope my posting quality will improve!

    Wow, Melissa - your second landscape? I'm thoroughly impressed by the sense of distance you've created and the wonderful embrace of the dark wooded area contrasted with dappled light in the distance. Thank you for your enthusiastic response to my figures. Your comments really please me. Keep up the good work!
