Wow, the whites really pop! That polarizing filter definitely appears to be a worthy investment. The lines and composition are great here. Very well done indeed for straight from camera!

Great light in this one. And yes, a bit more sharpness in processing should add some life and kick to it - maybe take out a WEE bit of yellow. Or not - I'd not know without seeing it.

a nice shot. i think a vertical shot, with more sky, would have been a more dramatic composition. perhaps check the focus - with in camera sharpening, this should be sharper, i think. also, try resizing in incremental steps, that seems to help sharpness. nice colour, and the sky will be great with some bumping.

very nice image indeed. nice composition, with the leading line of hte fence. the only niggle is the horizon. sometimes a tilted horizon works, sometimes it doesn't. and, in fact, it's not the horizonitself that shows it up, but the clouds.

I like the dramatic lighting of this photo. I bet if you play with it you can do some amazing things.

Roz, I thought your no-processing shots were going to suck? That was you what said that on the original thread, wasn't it? This shot does not suck!

It's a great shot, and a very strong image to start with. I have a polarizing filter, but I always forget to bring it along! How do you adjust which way to turn it? I don't seem to be able to see a lot of differences in my view finder when I spin mine . . .

Here's what I might try with this shot if it was mine: levels and curves to up the contrast and try to get a bit more detail in the clouds on the right. I would probably also try upping the saturation (maybe with hue, depending on results) to bring up the color of the grass a bit (make it a bit brighter and greener). I would poke around with the channel selector, but I think here it's not needed.

I might also try cloning out the stick on the right, and I might go so far as to try to get rid of the two standing pieces of wood inside the fence (one of which crosses the house), but it's so busy behind them, and I suck so bad at cloning that I would probably give up!

Great shot, I'm looking forward to seeing the processing!

I like it contrasty like you have it. That looks good to me with the dead wood in front of the live in high contrast.
