    Thank you for your comment about my photo. It was very kind. I must say that I think all of your shots are wonderful and technically awesome, but I find this one to be my favorite. I love the varying textures and the great range of tones. Black & White is my favorite type of photography so I was drawn to this image. The crisp whites and deep blacks give added depth to the wonderful mood of the image. Well done.

    EXCELLENT! I've spent a lot of time shooting here (video) but never came up with a shot this good. The composition is perfect - it'd be so easy to frame down to the tops of the trees but the expanse of sky you've left really adds to this photo! AWESOME!

    I don't miss the snow, but it would sure be nnice to see some of that kind of architecture in these parts. Great shot, Kevin. I really like the composition and the monochrome treatment; and the fact that it's in 'portrait!' really makes it. Beautifully framed too. R

    I grew up in Red Hook, not far from there. It's a very cool mansion to visit.
