Compensated exposure by -0.5 steps. Used tripod. Post processing included burning and dodging of details in the dark center of picture, clearing up artifacts by colorizing wooden area, adjusting saturation, hue to more yellow, and dulling brightness but adding more contrast. Refocused and resized. The image itself was taken at a drying barn in the next town over. The tobacco leaves were absolutely beautiful. They reach this colorful stage just before they get the brown cast to them. Two days after this shot, many of the leaves had already turned much browner.

The lines converge on the least interesting part of the photo; recomposing this to have one of the beams direct attention toward the leaves would have improved this shot.
