I haven't posted on this sub-forum in what seems like ages... so here's a recent photo.

Thanks for viewing...

Very nice shot! If you don't mind, can you explain your method for processing that rich blue sky color and texture?

I don't mind at all. This time of the year, the Canadian prairie sky can give you deep blue tones right before, during and after sunset – so there is a silver lining to our asses freezing off This photo was shot at 3:45, just 45 minutes before sunset – you can tell by the sky hitting the house from the side. With that "natural ingredient" in place, I simply darkened the sky just one more bit during post, added some contrast I think, and that was it. I didn't use any filters on the lens.

Thanks, guys!

It's arriving "slowly", actually I was out in the countryside today and the temperature reached -4 °C (24.8 °F). It should be at least 5-6 degrees lower this time of year. We're not complaining, though.

Thanks!

Federico impressive as always. Also I don't get to see alot of coloured treatment images from you lately. The clear snow covered foreground to the patch of brown vegetation to the house leading to the sky. Great composition man...I honestly can't find even a singe concrete nitpick here.
