wood 1 Posted July 21, 2006 Just submitted one of mine in the forum and saw yours. Very nicely done. I like that you included the wires and stop sign -- gives a sense of reality to a surreal looking tree and sky. Beautiful image and should be framed. Link to comment
Mike Marcotte 50,143 Posted July 21, 2006 Holy Smokes, I thought you were a reporter from the Washington Post! [i'll bet you never hear that one.] Thanks Robert, to tell you the truth this is really doctored up. I don't use PS much except for the usual easy stuff, but I fooled around with this one a little more than usual. I did use a polarizer that day though, & that caused the dark sky. To tell you the truth I was just admiring some of your photos when I got called away from this machine. Thanks for looking & commenting. Link to comment
kentb2 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Robert has really identified the unique element of this shot and it is the mix of man-made and nature. This shot has all the makings of your typical run of the mill beautiful tree shot but you've made it unique and creative. Very cool clouds. Link to comment
janiebarber 0 Posted November 4, 2006 I really like this shot a lot. It is a rather unique and creative one and I, too, like the stop sign etc. in it. Also, what an awesome sky. I use the polarizer lens some myself and I really like the way it captures skies. You know me always like the black/white's. Good work as usual. Link to comment
Mike Marcotte 50,143 Posted November 5, 2006 Thanks Janie, that's pretty typical landscape around here. Not much relief. I used a polarizer to dramitize those clouds a little. Thanks for the look & the comment. Link to comment
wp 0 Posted September 28, 2007 Excellent image and exposure. I think the powerlines work well here and could also work well minus them with just the tree and stop sign. Either way well seen and captured. Makes a great image. Nice tonality range as well. Take Care WP Link to comment
Mike Marcotte 50,143 Posted September 28, 2007 Thanks for the visit. I know yoiu had to go deep to find this one. It was a color picture at first. One of those lonely prairie intersections in Illinois. I know what you mean about the wires. They were there so I left them in. Thanks again for the visit. Link to comment
