Challenge: Landscape in Portrait Orientation (Advanced Editing IV*)
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0L USM
Location: farm in Rhode Island
Date: Oct 29, 2006
Aperture: f16
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/200 sec
Date Uploaded: Oct 30, 2006

 A local farm taken late afternoon on a very windy and visually interesting day...this was the day after a severe rain and wind storm, but the clouds were still around and the wind was gusting over 40 knots...it was difficult to stand in the field and remain stable with the camera...but I liked the sky in this image, and the sun breaking through the clouds to shine on the barn appealed to me...hope someone else likes it too..levels, curves, dodged the grass around front of barn, cloned out a few sensor dust spots in the clouds, usm, crop, desaturate slightly.

Nice job to capture this range of exposure values and maintain the integrity of mood you wanted to portray.

hmm - cloudy skies, and sharp shadows on the building ? Looks odd.

nicely done. How much of this is the actual exposure and how much is added burn?

Now, THAT'S dramatic. Maybe a little TOO white on the end of the barn, a little too dark on the rest of the barn? Regardless, a strong image for sure.
