Very well done. What I might have done, is changed the angle, just enough to completely separate house and tractor. As it is, they kind of blend. and a full outline would solve that. I like the lead in of the tractor to the house, good used of a strong diagnal. :-)
Teresa Prater I plan on revising the place and trying other angles. I've had feedback from photgraphers that like the photo as is, I guess it's all personal preference.
Always personal preference. Never "right or wrong". Glad you are going again. Sometimes it takes one shoot, to see what you should try for the next. Good luck!
I Like the shot, I would like to see it from a big step forward and to the left from a little higher.. but keeping the house and barn at the same place in the frame... or two or three steps to the right and a little lower and this screams for a little HDR action... ;)
Kevin Vincent thanks. I'm not a big of a fan of HDR, at least not when the filter strength is so high it looks HDR'd. I used the watercolor option in pixlr on it but didn't do a whole lot to the saturation, I gave it some vibrance which helps the color stand out more. I didn't think it needed too much other than perhaps a slightly different angle. I think HDR would be alright if it's toned down some though :-)

ReplyDeleteOshi Shikigami I was thinking the same thing about the tractor blending with the house as I edited it.
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty picture. It tells a story of a tired farmer who took a break by walking to the house (at least in my mind).
ReplyDeleteAskewed View Photographic Arts photos by Keith A. Russell thank you. I can see that as well, farming is hard work and long days

ReplyDeleteOshi Shikigami thanks! There are places I have revised 4, 5, 6 times and I always find something I missed the time before. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes! As many times as I go somewhere, there is always new and better compositions you see.
ReplyDeleteThe real trick, thogh, is not becoming complacent within walking distance of home...
Oshi Shikigami very true! You don't have to go long distances to find great subjects to shoot

yes, I agree about how easily HDR is superoverdone.. and really.. I dont think it needs anything.. I Like the shot..
ReplyDeleteThe other end might be to try it in muted colour / sepia tone..
Kevin Vincent sepia would be a great choice, a nice antique look and feel :-)
