stunning photograph .. love the beautiful colours, the contrasts going on ... great composition ...
have scrolled down thumbs of your challenge entries and portfolio images and am very impressed by your work .......
The composition is very pleasant; beautiful rural location. I am curious to know how much of what I am seeing is due to your processing technique. If it was mostly due to processing, would I value it less? I'm not sure. The truth in nature can often be stranger than the fiction of Photoshop processing. Whatever, the composition and eye for the shot count a lot - and you got it right in that respect.
Did I read somewhere that you were on Team Suck?? Ummmmm. . . no. . .you don't belong there! This photo is captivating! I love how you have processed the sky all soft and dreamy with the ground crisp and textured! aMAZING photo!
Yes - I agree with Mr. O'Toole... the painterly feeling works here. I would love to see a crop of only tree and sky... I think it would make a lovely Asian style print.
