Here's Where the Story Ends

Just because, I decided to do a couple things differently in post-processing today. The colour palette is different than my usual, and I also changed the sharpening process (I reduced local contrast but not to the point that it would've created an Orton effect).

I think I like the results, though I would've liked them more had there been any clouds in the sky.

Thoughts?

It is well exposed and framed, i just don't find it that interesting.

Thank you for the honest feedback. Although I like what I see, I'm not sure if this is interesting either.

contrary I do find it interesting with the over-sized foreground element giving me a down on the farm feeling. Processing is good, like you mentioned the lack of clouds is a bummer.

Thank you. I think this one only reaches its full potential when viewed really big. I've now decided to use it as my desktop wallpaper and it's a beauty. At forum size, however, it kind of disappears and fizzles out.

I love the coloring. I agree with wishing there were some clouds in the shot.

Wow. I really like the effect you got here from the editing! It's a nice photo, as always, but Id really love some more info on the specific editing method you used. :thumbsup:

It's just not my way of doing things (and most importantly, I wouldn't know how to do it

)

I really didn't do much more than what I said on my first post, BUT I should've said that the colours were achieved during temperature/tint adjustments to the RAW file in Adobe Camera RAW.

Thanks for the feedback, guys!
