I had a lot of pictures selected as candidates for this contest. Was hard to choose, but then I got an idea..
I decided to select a picture which was made just few shots before my K-r died, right there in the fields between those windmills. So this fact has to add a lot of drama to the shot
To be honest, I would not even consider to participate in any photo contest if my K-r would be still alive. Lazy I am

But back to the photo. It is taken somewhere at the South of Spain. I never was interested in landscape pictures before, but one day just decided to give it a try, so went out to the field. Thus this photo is not a random shot, but well planned in advance part of my learning path.

In terms of composition my attempt was to preserve depth of the view and I think sky gradient, row of windmills and mountains at the horizon are helping here a lot.
Technically I wanted to achieve a good light range, hence the dark bushes and sun in the skies are both involved.

Post processing applied is very basic, thanks to K-r and 35mm F/2.4 lens. Minor shift of greens to the yellow side, some contrast and saturation increase. Plus dimmed highlights and added light in the shadows. I could involve some more "cleaning" and remove unnecessary elements, but this photo is one of those, where I love it as it is.

That is the brief story behind the photo. Feel free to enjoy

Great shot nicely exposing the masiveness of these windmills in comparison to these hills and that building. also like the distant view of those highlands ! A nomination from me !

thanks manntax, good point about massiveness, have not noiced it on my own. this is why it is important to expose your work -- other people can hint things you would not notice yourself
