No Exit

[invisible]

I'd like to express my gratitude to the Weather Gods of Manitoba for unleashing their best skies and cloud formations almost every time I'm out shooting.

This is near Grunthal, a small town 60 km south of Winnipeg.

Thanks for looking.

I really like it.. simple lines and the coloring is fantastic!

Great shot! I like the composition/color and the sign really makes a LOL!

is it HDR?
Ho do I get colors to be that crisp?
thats is awesome!

Lovely shot - the only one small gripe I would have is that the sky looks to be slightly over-processed (perhaps too much saturation or too much contrast). Other than that, it's relly striking and I love the contrast of the Primary Colours

No HDR, just a normal exposure. I don't do anything special to get vivid colours (in fact, I don't always get vivid colours). I think this particular scene was just vivid, and I happened to be there with a camera

the only one small gripe I would have is that the sky looks to be slightly over-processed (perhaps too much saturation or too much contrast).

It's probably too much contrast, as I tend to desaturate all my photos (coincidentally, I desaturate right after increasing the contrast).

Thanks everybody for your kind comments. (I honestly thought this was going to be one of those images that go unnoticed and rack up a grand total of zero replies )

I think I jinxed the thread by saying the above. I take it back!

Haha, way to curse your own thread.

The photo is great. The color just pops out, and is fantastic. And I too love that sign!!
You should post that sign and in the signs assignment thread, it is hilarious!

Love the colors on this one. I can almost feel a cool breeze on my face...and the slight smell of cow manure in the distance! ;-)

Very well captured!

I might do just that later tonight (I didn't even know that such a thread existed!).

I'm still feeling the smell, and this was shot a couple of weeks ago!

Thanks for looking and commenting, guys/gals!

Just wondering.. Why is there ghosting on the horizon? Any chance you played with Shadow/highlight?

No... This image was edited with Picasa (if there's such thing as editing with Picasa ). I cloned something out of the frame with Photoshop Elements later on, though.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting, guys.
