A meadow just behind my house. Removed some forest near the horizon, waited for the perfect clouds to add (the image is made of 2 single photos, the meadow and the sky). in the end i decided to change the color of the green meadow to orange so it looks like an autumn wheat field, and after that i overlayed a orange to blue gradient to give it a warm and kind of dramatic look, then i pulled up the saturation and contrast. thats it..

I really liked this one. I also think it was a wise move to change the color of the field. It fits better with the rest of the image.

I thought this deserved top 20 for sure. Love it.

thanks for all the comments..
i don't know what these things are its something wrapped in plastic, but its no wheat because its spring and the field actually was grass green and not that orange;)

Nice!

Nice shot, great colors and contrast. I must say though that I personally think this shot would have appealed more to me taken in landscape instead of portrait, I kindof feel like I am only looking at either the left or right part of the photograph, you know what I mean?

Pretty scene! I wish it was clearer what the bale was without being told, but its placement in the frame is good nonetheless.

The more I look at this, the more I like it. 8

I love the perspective. Almost makes me think it's a painting.

This is interesting. What are the blocks? wheat wrapped in plastic? I like the crispness of the sky and the movement that you can see in the wheat in the immediate foreground

Those wrapped bales look like marshmallows. Gave me a bit of a grin. Lovely shot!

a bit cliche

What a fantastic image. Very unique -- powerful, yet playful at the same time.

Great photo, I like the colors and clouds. When I see these bales I always think of Giant Marshmallows.

i love bottom 1/3 of the image - the grasses and the hills and the 'marshmallows of grain' have wonderful color and feel, i love the top 1/3 of the image and the sky - i don't like the purples and darkness on the clouds in the middle third - they almost seem too dark for the rest of the image. Brightening up that region and removing the purple cast would really make this a stunner - still, it gets a 7

Made me laugh. First impression is of a giant marshmellow. sky and clouds a bit over processed. Good luck.

gorgeous sky

Incredibly surreal photograph...great tones and composition. Excellent!

Looks more like wrapped hay bales to me, but what do I know, I'm just a city girl! I like the way you have captured the expanse of prairie. The colours are good, but be careful with the highlights in the clouds as the brightest spots appear a little blown out to me. Overall nice capture.
04/18/2007 07:44:36 PM
I see that shot almost on a daily basis and you have captured it well. nice job .

High marks for the awesome colours and use of sheep <3
04/18/2007 06:41:18 AM

04/18/2007 01:40:17 AM
Great foreground and colors.
04/18/2007 01:34:28 AM
mmm, marshmellows. well done. i like the colors, and the border helps add some umph, good. 8
