I always dreamt of a big backyard with a golf course, lots of food and wine and of course, a beach. On a recent trip to 17-mile drive in Carmel, CA, I saw my dream background in reality. Hope the photo does justice..........

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I could not crop the photo for the contest, but here is a different version that I like better.

I love the lighting in this, but I think I would have liked it more if the windows had been cropped out.

Beautiful scene. I think it would have been improved if you had dropped down a bit and moved in and gotten rid of the widow with bars on it on top, making the window a frame for your picture. Where is this, Pebble Beach?

Beautiful view, but why leave the partial upper window? A closer crop showing more of the center diners might be more effective--perhaps leave the gentleman on left with nice tree above him, but cut out guy on right and the upper window. See what you think.

Shadows are too dark.

Too much contrast. The dark areas get lost.
