Country Lane

A personal favourite...

It's simple but nice

A good picture that leads the eye.

The road on the right shows a slight turn to the left before the lay of the land hides it. Does it continue on into the on coming storm? Will it turn enough to advoid the approaching danger? I don't know, I'll never know, so I'll be remembering this image for a long time to come. High drama here, Peter. Good work.

Prachtig werk, Peter!

Very beautiful, but the sky looks in black & white. Is it intentionnel ?

Thanks for your views and comments, Afriadi, Hussein and Ruud. Much appreciated!

Ed and Henri, the dramatic impact of the threatening clouds was deliberately intensified by a negative adjustment in both saturation and lightness of the cyan and blue.

I can still see some cyan/blue, just above the brightest patch in the clouds. But yes, it looks more monochromatic than a previous version of this shot.

Thanks also, to you both, for your input.

Beautifully moody, the destauatred sky gives tremendous depth to this image. Very well balanced composition too, the laneway leads the eye crisply and the fresh tyre tracks add impact to the leading feature.

I would like there to be something way out there in the distance, some spot of interest, a house maybe, or a tractor, to bring the human element a little closer to bear. As I see it now, it's a road to nowhere, and so my interest in it is not very deep. In fact, the most interesting part of it is that dark spot in the road in the foreground. What is that? That's where my eye goes, and stays.

Only for you... Hope that makes it better...

Pete, you are too kind!
