Description Details Share

One of my personal favorites from the venture around some local fields on a warm Spring Friday evening.

The fields of nature, Scotland.

_{UPDATE: Finally completely satisfied with this now, cropped, sorted perspective, exposure, and shadows in clouds, and added a border and signing.}

I hope you all enjoy, and thank you to all who view/comment/favorite/appreciate.

Overall I think you have an ok shot here, but I think it could also use some improvement.

Power lines are a no go for me, very few shots can have them that make them work, and usually those are enviromental commercial shots, and in here, they are a distraction, and a bad one at that. Shoot around them or clone them out.

Your contrast is very harsh in this, evident in the sky, lower it down some, for the contrast has about killed the detail in the clouds themselves. Fill light in selective areas to bring back the exposure.

It honestly has the look and feel of being shot at the wrong time of the day for me, the light is really harsh.

I think you have a nice shot here that with some tweaking and editing, you could make it pop more. I would probably do a complete re-work of it myself. The halo around the one cloud is really bothering me a lot.

Keep at it!
