somewhere under the rainbow

thank you for any comment or critique

This is a great composition and creates quite a flavorful mood. It looks almost surreal. A straight photo or a composite?

I like the composition. If you cloned out the power lines, you'd have a photo that you might pass off as 1890's homestead. :-)

thanks y'all! i thought about those power lines Lou Ann, and decided to keep them as a subtle part of the story. the house may go back that far, though i don't know. these old cypress structures hold up forever. this one has obviously been well kept.

 

Jack, i guess you could consider this a composite. i have borrowed a little from Kent B working in layers, adjusting channels, levels and contrast, and using the elements i want from each layer. i have attached the original for grins. aint photoshop great?!

I really like it in B&W. The contrast between the house, the tree and the clouds formation are very nice. I want to keep my eyes focus on the beautiful background but somehow the foreground keep bring me back to view the image as a whole.

thank you Vinh!

Linda - I know that this one is from last year and that I already commented. But when I looked at the folder as a whole, including the newest uploads, I think that this is my favorite image of the bunch of them. And it really looks the most "Southern". :-)

I like how dark the tree is--it really stands out, like a giant broccili looming over everything.

Doug, it's a good thing i like brocolli!

Lots of history here. The west is good for portraying lonely places, there is space and room out there that we just don't have here in the South. But this gives a feeling of isolation as well, and of being forgotten. Nice post work, too.

 

Best regards,
