Challenge: D&L (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Olympus D-550Z
Location: Ellington, CT.
Date: Aug 27, 2005
Aperture: f 2.9
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/50th
Galleries: Landscape, Rural
Date Uploaded: Aug 24, 2005

 Compensated exposure by -0.5 steps. Used tripod. Post processing included burning and dodging of details in the dark center of picture, clearing up artifacts by colorizing wooden area, adjusting saturation, hue to more yellow, and dulling brightness but adding more contrast. Refocused and resized. The image itself was taken at a drying barn in the next town over. The tobacco leaves were absolutely beautiful. They reach this colorful stage just before they get the brown cast to them. Two days after this shot, many of the leaves had already turned much browner.

Takes me back to the carolinas. Focus seems a bit soft.

The lines converge on the least interesting part of the photo; recomposing this to have one of the beams direct attention toward the leaves would have improved this shot.

I love the color and texture of this photo, but think a different composition could really improve the image. Keep up the good work.

focus seems a little off.
