Fields of Gold, Skies of Copper

Thanks very much for your feedback on this image. This was taken near

Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, a UNESCO World Heritage site near

Fort MacLeod, Alberta. I hope you enjoy! Scott.

I like it alot, but I think the saturation slider slipped past the posterization threshold in the foreground grasses and has blown the red channel. Still, a beautiful and dramatic scene!

I spent some time in Alberta a few years ago and this part of the province was certainly very interesting. This capture of the field at a low angle of the sun lokms fantastic and the rain from that cloud all lit up red like that is great. Good one!

Scott,

Beautiful image. The darken sky adds drama to the scene. Regards, Patsy

Very nice scene, Scott. Beyond the beauty of the shot, I like the lines and composition you've chosen.

Thanks for all your kind comments everyone! Mark... you may be right... I'm not sure. The way the sun was catching the top of the grasses was stunningly bright and golden... it was a challenge to try and reproduce that in post. I'll play around with it some more and see if I can back it off a bit. Thanks again!

Low clouds & long road provide interesting contrast. Excellent image.

Beautiful. The only area that I think could be improved is the very light area in the sky but it is still a beautiful image.

 

PS that Unesco site name was so freaky that I had to look it up and learned something new.
