October Skies

October Skies · 08:09 AM

A little High Dynamic Range.

Great colours, I like how the bales draw your eye around the shot.

jeffkpotter · 01-07-2009, 09:01 AM

Amazing. Perfect!

This is very nice, but the horizon cloud colors do seem a bit overdone. But in spite of that, I do like the overall image.

Actually, there is very little PP done here. The October skies are really that brilliant where I live.

That is a delicate use of HDR. My view out my windows is just the same. I've never thought of HDR to pull back high contrast areas like barely/wheat stubble against the setting sun.

Nice job.

Great shot. That sure is a beautiful scene.

Wow, lovely shot, nice use of HDR

nice one, I'd be tempted to crop it to very wide/low panoramatic shot

Hmmm never thought of that. It would really draw the eye. Here is a quick and dirty crop:

What does everyone think?

Axl has a good eye, I like the crop a whole lot!

I agree, now the strong saturation is not standing out too much either.. I like the pano version!

The crop is OK but I prefer the original version. What you loose in the crop is the feeling of the wide open space.

Very nice image btw and good PP.
