Looks like a wonderful selection Scottie. I am going for the cottage - number 2. But all images will have their contrast challenge’s.

Rosie Green

If I must choose only one, Scottie, then 2 is my pick. Thank you for teaching Dappled light - wonderful!

Carmel Spencer

Also no 2 please Scottie. It appears to have the most to learn..?

Lorna Graham

#2 Scottie. It’s so pretty and I too like the dappled light. It will be a challenge with the perspective but I’m here to learn and I’m loving it 🙌🏻

Ingrid Krämer

No 2 Scottie. it seems to be the most difficult for me.

Frieda

I like the shadow on nr. 3 and a red house is nice too.

Marie Cornelis

la 1 ou /et la 2 merci Scottie!!! mon déménagement se termine...je n'ai plus participé depuis quelques temps...désolée...

Kathy S

I’ve always loved doors. I’m going with # one.😊

Joni K

I realize that most people like the complicated pictures, so I expect #2 will win. But I would love to see you do #3 or #4 with the dappled shadow on one side and full shadow on another side with darker shadow in the door area. When I try to do a full side of a building in shadow, the whole side gets muddy and heavy looking.

Julie

Was torn between the door and complete building. Could we have a tutorial on doors alone? Pretty please? Love doors but voted for the Tudor.

Lynn Casmier-Paz

I chose #3 because it's most like the kinds of buildings I'm likely to draw in the near future. There are a lot of them around where I live and travel.

Mr. M

Very much looking forward to this lighting technique....Thanks!
