Maybe a little over processed (as if I one to say :)) but still a good photograph with nice contrasting colors, lighting, and composition. Good Capture.

Effective HDR +1
03/17/2009 10:01:29 AM
I like the way the red really pops against the other colors.
03/17/2009 06:55:10 AM
Nice HDR processing. Interesting image.
03/17/2009 02:15:49 AM
Nice colours... I like your post processing.
03/16/2009 11:04:00 PM
I like the processing, but I don't think everyone will.

Not voting yet.

A bit over processed. Nice use of red. Too many competing features.
03/16/2009 04:33:01 PM
Beautiful HDR looking shot with saturation boost. Lots of detail here.
03/16/2009 02:35:27 PM
Nice shot!
03/16/2009 01:23:57 AM
Nice splash of color. Well taken.
03/15/2009 11:02:16 PM
good colors the red really offsets the blues and earth tones nicely
03/15/2009 10:11:49 PM
What an interesting contrast of color showing the cold.
03/15/2009 07:37:44 PM
Pretty cool HDR effect, here.
03/15/2009 07:04:22 PM
Funky processing
03/15/2009 12:06:00 PM
good use of post processing, done just right to give more feel to this image
03/15/2009 12:03:23 PM
Wonderful
03/15/2009 12:02:52 PM
HDR is a little overdone for my tastes, colours a bit too saturated. But an interesting photo.
03/15/2009 10:42:16 AM
Very nice image. It's good to see a few "great" images. This is a perfect reflection of your abilities as a photographer. HDR?
03/15/2009 08:36:46 AM
Wonderful red in a desolated landscape.
03/15/2009 05:06:12 AM

a lot of details here but the composition does not quite appeal to me. 6
03/14/2009 10:29:17 PM
The red really stands out. Not sure if I'm a big fan of the processing (but I didn't vote lower because of it). The photo is interesting and makes me want to know the story. I like it.
03/14/2009 09:05:14 PM
Seems almost a HDR. Nice work.
03/14/2009 06:44:30 PM
A mystery shot: what is that wheelbarrow doing out in the middle of nowhere?
03/14/2009 06:33:54 PM
Amazing! Nice subject. This is like an old classic.
03/14/2009 11:20:10 AM
Great coloring to bring out the red. Good timing with the clouds.
03/14/2009 03:20:21 AM
Love the splash of red. Really nice feel to this shot
03/13/2009 09:16:24 PM
Like the photo and hope it's correct in its title.
03/13/2009 09:03:37 PM
Unusual capture, excellent detail and POI.
03/13/2009 07:46:16 PM
The red really stands out against the bleak surroundings
03/13/2009 07:14:28 PM
I like the colors in everything except for the wheel barrow. The reds dont look ... whats the word.. natural? something about it just stands out.
03/13/2009 05:02:29 PM
Nice Composition but a little over processed
03/13/2009 05:00:52 PM
simply a great shot, well above average
03/13/2009 02:54:17 PM
nice...but a little fake colors 7
03/13/2009 02:00:55 PM
The post processing on this makes the image really busy in the bottom half so I am forced to look upwards to the simpler sky... but I keep falling back into the ground...
03/13/2009 12:23:51 PM
Lots of details to study.
03/13/2009 11:58:14 AM
nice job bringing out the red in this image, nice processing
03/13/2009 04:27:17 AM
great edgy process .. excellent image .. love the story .. it has a happy ending .. :)
03/13/2009 02:44:24 AM
I can't help it, I like this style- 9
03/12/2009 10:58:21 PM
I like the wheelbarrow it's very eye catching in red. Vivid shot. Over all this has a lot of appeal.
03/12/2009 07:01:02 PM
Good pic. The sky looks a little overdone though.
03/12/2009 10:08:34 AM
great pov and nice pp work brining out the colours
03/12/2009 07:34:37 AM
I love your processing! Very interesting shot!
03/12/2009 07:28:33 AM
Gosh I hope so! Nice depiction of the duldrums of winter with that red as the promise of spring.

Great HDR look
03/12/2009 02:25:01 AM
And when it does, you're gonna need that wheelbarrow! Nice, dramatic shot.
03/11/2009 11:53:52 PM
lol cool effects
03/11/2009 06:02:18 PM
He lay there, having long since expended his energy calling for help. Lay there with a broken handle, and unable to turn himself over again. Lay there in the bitter winds and harsh landscape of the open plains, alone.

He knew that this was probably the end. It was getting cold. So cold. He moved in and out of feverish dreams and hallucinations. Gardening tools of his past came and went from his thoughts. His father, the riding mower. His mother, the Garden Weasel. Little Jenny, the fan rake, who he swore he would marry one day.

A tear slipped down his tire, and dropped into the dead and frozen grass, as life slipped from him slowly, and he began to succumb to the elements.

It was then, on the verge of his consciousness, that he heard the shout, and his mind told him that it was only another vision. It wasn't real. There was no-one out here. He would die alone.

The shouts grew louder, and stronger, and then they were there. A couple of hiking Dollies. They rushed over to him, and his miracle came true.
03/11/2009 04:52:27 PM
this is cool in HDR...I really like the red against the sky and mountain/hill
03/11/2009 04:33:11 PM
A little to red for me but its a nice story.
03/11/2009 01:56:36 PM
Something about this really attracts me.
03/11/2009 12:08:44 PM
a little over processed in my opinion
03/11/2009 11:14:34 AM
Yes it will. Good use of HDR.
03/11/2009 11:05:53 AM
i would have like to see the red in the rules of thirds more but nice
03/11/2009 12:13:53 AM
Great post processing. I like how the colors and textures pop out.
