Thanks!

I like the clouds in #2. It's got a yellow tint to the Earth part tho. I wanted to kill that but I was too lazy to select just the Earth part and when I removed the yellow from the foliage the clouds lose their interesting yellow undersides.

Bummer my camera wasn't pointed in the same direction for both #1 and #2 I could paste the clouds from #2 into #1 and get the best of both.

Thanks for the compliments man!

Outside the city areas everyone and their dog owns a rice patty or two. Allot (most?) of the rice in Japan comes from small farmers growing on 1 to 6 acre plots usually adjacent to their homes. Late September / early October is harvest season and those are the cut rice stalks hanging upside down to cure and dry. Kinda like pot growers do to improve the quality.

So, that's rice.

aaah ok, thanks for the info. I've always heard of rice pattys, but have never seen what one looks like. Now I know. And again, beautiful shots

This is an amazing shot. Concept, framing, color and contrast.
Stunning.

Yeah, and while it's growing those fields remain flooded. So they're like little mini-swamps just teaming with life. Frogs, tiny fish, snakes, dragonflies, all kinds of microscopic pond-life, etc.
