Old Wood Chipper

Comments and ratings always appreciated.

a painting- i like that crazy sky

Beautiful work, very nicely composed, Jim!

Whew! Impressive and Intense Composition Jim. I love the old Wood Chipper....what a find.....your processing is fascinating as is with your "Old Heaps"......but that sky....wow...intense....appears a storm sure is brewing. At this moment in time we are in a 'Wind Warning' outside our home. It reached 26 degrees here yesterday, humid today, with a cold front passing under the Great Lakes, causing the winds. They sure are howling, and your sky here totally makes me think of what I'm hearing.

 

I'm not a fan of strong winds....I don't often have nightmares...but when I do....it's always very calm, as is the surroundings of the 'Chipper'....but in the distance a threatening sky takes me on a search for my children.....and I can never find them.

For me a great shot, impressive processing, with an immediate connection with the weather I am experiencing as I write. Nice work! Cheers, Gail

Great work! Best regards, Ilkka

I enjoyed your landscape photo, nice layering of color from front to back to the intense sky. always like to find old things to include in a photo when I can. well done. take care.

Jim,

 

Wow...this is a beauty. Great work. Take care, Patsy

Insanely powerful post work, Jim. This belongs on the cover of a photography or digital processing magazine. Sheer jaw-dropping madness.

very good documentary...congrats

My but this is seriously Intense - The brewing dark clouds does make one think about our Global Warming - Congrats and thank you for sharing your awesome works - Regards -

Very nice landscape with a beautiful dramatic sky, Jim!! Congrats and best regards!!

Couldn't rate what thisone deserves :(

WOW! Spectacular image!! Amazing!

Superb image Jim! 7/7

Looks like Armageddon is coming. With this processing you can see all of the faces in the clouds. Lots of fun. Ry

I love this photo. The colors, the incredibly imaginative and intense sky. Wonderful composition. I absolutely love this photo.

Wow!!! Wonderful image, Jim...lovely colors and details...my best

hi Jim

great work. nice HDR work. I was wondering if you first composed this image, that you were thinking HDR, or the image just developed itself. either way great work as always. take care....mark

Nice initial scenery and excellent final pp result,Jim. I really like your recent uploads.

Thanks to all for the kind comments and ratings. Always appreciated.

 

Mark,

 

I did plan this as an HDR. The light wasn't the best and the old chipper really lent itself to HDR. The sky was a bonus. Glad you liked it. -Jim

Jim, I enjoyed reading the comments on this one. The word "intense" was used more than once, which is the word I would use to describe the sky. Very skillfully edited. Well done.

Looks like the sky will (at last) swallow everything, like Undo command..Good idea, well crafted.

Skies such as this make for the best HDR images and you have succeeded in bringing out the best of the shot. I love your subject as I too am a photographer of old cars and farm equipment. Great work, I'll go peruse the rest of your portfolio for more jewels.

Excellent work Jim, works perfectly in HDR.
