The sky in this one is so interesting...so cloudy on the left, but such a beautiful blue, with wispy clouds, on the right. It's like the highest point of the treetop is some sort of temporal dividing line. The rough road on the left meandering off into the distance, and the hint of some unknown red building behind the tree on the right*, gives me the feeling of mystery and/or desolation.


(*or are those just red leaves?)

Red leaves.
It's a very ancient landscape. People have been living on it for over 4,000 years. Lots of burial mounds and standing stone.

(I really have to figure out how to calibrate the colours on this monitor...it's making everything a bit too dark. A different monitor showed the red patch more readily as leaves.)

Where is this place? Far from you?

 

[Hertz van Rental]

Out near Buxton in the Peak District. About 50 miles.

Looks dark to moi on my monitor ... the large and dark patch of trees in the center don't seem all that interesting to be capturing such a dominating presence of the photo ... any special significance to these trees?

I like the foot path.

Looks fine on my monitor.
I find the trees very interesting - which is why I photographed them. Although it is largely to do with their relationship with the other elements in the image.

The colours should be brightened up a bit more as I think its too dark.

Check your monitor, it's way too dark.

 

[Hertz van Rental]

Monitor is fine and calibrated every week. It's more likely to be your monitor. When was the last time you calibrated yours?

 

[Tangerini]

it's definitely not to dark on mine. I especially like the lines in this photo, the path, the v's from the trees and the clouds...

The darker shadows under the trees, with the suggestion of some detail in them, is what makes the shot for me. A most intriguing photo, pregnant with possibilities - perhaps a little sinister even ......

nice image, i also like the sky.

the image is a tad dar on my screen as wel but i have never calibrated

 

[Rabieshund]

I will view this on a different monitor later today. My monitor has never been in need of calibration as it has passed all the tests I have ever done perfectly. And this is the darkest photo I have ever seen here on TPF. My prints also look exactly the way I saw them on my screen.

You know, some monitors are just too dark or too bright no matter how much you play around with the settings. I have had one and my ex girlfriend has one.

I really don't think my monitor is dark. It views everything else perfectly except for this photo. You should check your monitor again, man.

Calibrated monitor or not, the image is too dark. Here's a screen shot of the histogram when only the tree/ground is selected. Making an adjustment really brings out the colours, which is perhaps what you are seeing and the rest of us are not.
