I took this picture while driving by on the highway going 60 miles an hour. My husband was driving. I'm lucky it's not one big blur. Every time we would drive by it I wished I could stop and take a picture but there is no where to pull over safely. I keep thinking about this picture and every time I look at it, it reminds me of a painting. That's why I submitted it to this challenge.

Thank you all for your comments and advice on this photo. I tried correcting the color and found I really liked the blue coloring to it. So I left it that way on purpose. It gave it that painted feel, which is what I was going for.

I love this simple scenic image - very nice work :)

this is nice, but if you walked past the trees in the foreground I think it might be more appealing.

This is basically a pleasing image, but the cyan colour cast detracts from it. Have you tried removing the colour cast using levels, or colour balance or selective colour (PS CS2) or their equivalents in another piece of software? It should be relatively easy to do, and your image be much improved--in my opinion, anyway.

i really like the textures and the painterly feel you created. i wish the sky had a bit more of a darker tone to help force my eyes back down to the ground scene

Needs more contrast. A pola filter could perhaps have improved the sky?
The subject matter is perhaps not the most exciting. All this imo, obviously. Good luck!

Nice colouring to give it a cold atmosphere, but I think overall the photo is a little soft. You should try running USM on it lightly.

while the composition is nice, and I like the depth this image offers, I think the colors are in need of balancing. Too much cyan throughout. Other than that, this would be a really nice wall-hanger

Interestingly enough, the cyan cast here *really* works well... some really nice lighting going on on that barn. One of the few barn landscapes I can say I actually kind of like.

not a very interesting shot i must admit. a different angle maybe would have helped.

Nice shot although I feel that it is slightly underexposed.

Beautiful setting. There's something captivating about the tone or saturation, I can't quite place it. It has an old west feeling to me. I would have been tempted to chop down the tree at the left. ;-)
