      sure was, Alan. i had a chance to do some mountain biking and hiking around the area on weekends with my dog - canoek. i found a great spot to just sit and ponder. it was at the head of a canyon. there i could sit, safely dangle my feet over a 400' cliff and marvel at sheer canyon walls before me. i was completely taken in by the breath-taken-beauty carved by wind and rain in these massive walls of stone. it put things into perspective.

      regards,
      jb

        jb, missed this one somehow...really pleasant image and style: quietly dramatic! Best, Tom.

              jb, I like your style(s)...different but nice fit together. My fave today is 733...gotta try something like that! Best, Tom.

              (Also, hope you don't mind, but the "redhat" dormer/pilaster element WILL be stolen...really nice!)

                Wow, very nice. The one thing that stands out to me is that the overhangs are not pronounced enough.

                  I gotta agree with Tom here...733 rocks. I like the sepia-ish-selective-muted colors. Nice SD conceptual look.

                    eric, don't follow you on the overhangs - come again?

                    thanks, todamgood4U.

                      Jb,
                      I think he means the soffit areas as the overhangs.

                        roger that, ron. but i'm trying to figure out where/which drawing needs attention.

                          Thats a good question. Maybe pic unaweep.JPG But it looks like you have 12 to 14 inches on them. Well anyway nice models.

                            Sorry I did not see this before. Yes it is the unaweep.JPG image I was referring to. I am talking about the soffit areas, yes. Where the rafter tails come out. I just think they could be a little longer. Maybe it is just the angle of the image.
                            Great image though, really nice. I like the rendering style very much.

                              gotcha. i see what your referring to - now that you mention it they do seem kind of wimpy. they are drawn as built though, 2x6x16". oh well, on the actual house they turned out much better.
