Hello David -

This is a nice image and has lots of life to it. I detect a color cast, something to watch out for when shooting under overcast conditions and in shadows. The cast is a bit strong in the blue. An easy fix in PhotoShop; go to Image...Adjustments...Match Color and tick the Neutralize the box in the Match Color dialog. This removes the blue and adds a touch of warmth. Anyway, a well seen and executed image.

Thank you for sharing.

John

Hi David,
I was there once on a wedding party!
It's a beautifully kept old mansion. And Lahti region seriously being into winters sports, there's a lot going on. Nice feeling, I see there's lots of kids and teenagers having fun there.
(Messilä belongs to municipality of Hollola.)

Hi David - Wow, that's very sharp and very well exposed considering the time of the day... the building clearly runs the show, in pretty yellow and white... regards, Daniel
