    "Aunt" Orelena Puckett's Cabin

    This roadside scene is on the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. "Aunt" Orelena Puckett, a midwife, lived here until her death in 1939 at age 102. She delivered over 1000 babies including in her last year of life. Ironically, she had 24 children and all of them died as infants.

    I love the lines and textures in this image Mike. I also really like how your processed it. The one thing that does grab my eye thou is the lower/middle portion of the trunk of the pine tree (image upper left) - my eye would prefer to see some data retrieved if possible.

    I assume you mean the tree in the image upper right, not the upper left. (If I'm wrong, please let me know.) The detail was there in the capture SOOC. I screwed it up during the post-processing. Revised as shown below. Thank you for bringing it to my attention!

    Nicely captured, Mike. I like the fence leading to the cabin and the detail in the fence and cabin.

    Good eye, Kim!

    Mike...this is a nice scene. More so on the conversion really made it oldish style.
