I cropped the original as a panorama. I like the effect and it's the only way I could include the beautiful clouds on the right. The small specks in the sky are a flock of birds. Hope you like it! -mm
This is a fine, dynamic image of a not uncommon and static scene, Mark. I do wish that I could see it much larger, but alas. Lots of interesting elements that combine for something special. I'm glad I clicked on this. Regards. -Tim
Wow, what a great commentary Becky. I only wish the UF sizing guidelines could show this larger as it looks amazing full size. I agree with you completely which is why I chose the crop. The light lasted only minutes but I'm glad I was there to grab this one. Thanks again, your portfolio is pretty rich, I'll be dropping by to say hello. cheers, -mm
Do I like it? I do, I do! I liked your Barn Study photo, but I like this one much more. For one thing, the house is shot more on an angle, which adds dimension and depth to the structure. Another reason is that here, you've included less ground and more sky, which is great because that's where the interest lies. The exposure is on the money, as you can see detail in the ground and house, while the colours in the clouds remain eye-catching, but not overwhelming. The inclusion of the farm in the faaaar distance on the right draws the eye right into and through the photo and the panoramic crop, plus the action of the flying birds makes me feel like I'm watching the opening frame of an epic film.
