Oh, fingers crossed! I just learned how to use textures and suite of professional ones would be heaven.

Hope you enjoy my landscape… I can provide it pre-processed and larger if needed.

This is my old barn that I photographed one misty morning. My photobucket account limits the image size to 1024 by 768px, but I can provide the full size image if need be.
