Nice photo. To me, the most interesting elements are the three trees and large barn on the left. I would try cropping out the two buildings to the right of the largest tree

Ha I see two people thought this was mine, and it's so funny because I was soooooooo close to entering a silhouette.

Congrats on TT.

Part of me wants them to all be higher in the air...how many shoots did you take?

Unless of course it̢۪s a candid, somehow I think not ;)

Still I really dig this.

happy reading to you .. :)
"Milo, a bored boy who lives in a San Francisco apartment block, is surprised by a large, gift-wrapped package that has appeared in his room. The package turns out to be a tollbooth, that is a gateway into a magical parallel universe. As Milo uses the tollbooth's toy car to pass through the tollbooth, the character moves from live action to animation, and he is transported to the enchanted Kingdom of Wisdom in the Lands Beyond and the states of Dictionopolis (Kingdom of Words) and Digitopolis (Kingdom of Mathematics).

Accompanied by Tock, a "watchdog" who actually has a large pocketwatch in his body, Milo has a series of adventures in places like the Doldrums, Dictionopolis, Digitopolis, the Mountains of Ignorance and the Castle in the Air. Together they must rescue the Princesses of Sweet Rhyme and Pure Reason, who are being held captive in the Castle in the Air, and restore order to the Kingdom of Wisdom. The many eccentric characters they meet include the Whether Man, the Humbug, the Spelling Bee, the noisy Dr. Kakofonous A. Dischord, King Azaz the Unabridged, the Mathemagician and Officer Short Shrift as well as demons like the Senses Taker, the Terrible Trivium, the Demon of Insincerity, and the Gelatinous Giant."

Imagination triumphs over gravity. In the movie version, the subjects would continue to gradually rise up into the sky.
