I was so disappointed that this caravan ahd so much clutter round it. I still like the shot.

I have been accused elsewhere of adding the sky but it's all PP and not too much of it.

Is the cow towing the Caravan?

If not where IS the tow Hitch?

These type of skies are a pleasure, very often when straight from the camera, people don't believe they're real!

Couldn't you have mooooooved the cow out of the way ?

Shame about the surroundings as it's a funky looking caravan indeed.

That's a very cool caravan, if such a thing is possible! Personally, I like the cow, in fact, I think the shot would be worse off without it.

I'm not arguing that the shot isn't better with the cow but why is it there? It was a tiny caravan - I never thought about the tow hitch but it quite possibly came on the back of a flat bed and wasn't fitted.

(Dare I mention that they had an NL roundel on the rear but a UK plate)

Mike, I also like that shot. Yes, with less clutter around it it would have been even better, but theres not much you could have done (apart from taking the caravan up and set it down a few paces from the clutter).

The sky is great and so typical of a 'wide angle' sky. You did well to darken the sky a bit (but you should treat the part that you can see through the skylight of the caravan in the same way). It let's the caravan shine in the light with it's fantastic design.

Thank you - that was roughly my feeling as well. I thought the the sky through the skylight was in fact a strip light but it can't be.

I like the sky, it reminds me of childhood caravan holidays and the sound of the rain battering on the roof!

Ah, but with such a small caravan it wouldn't be so loud and depressing
