Two Hours On Monday - Grain again

Still meandering on Monday :) I cropped a big chunk of sky off this one to try and balance the picture. There was not a breath of wind which made it easier to get the grain fairly well defined.

Feels like I just want to dive in there!...

Be great for a 'hide & seek' game eh!

I like this expansive view of the field. Composition A+ with an interesting and colorful foreground, mid and background. Nice work, LE.

I think.. in my ever so humble (and omnipotent :oP) opinion..

... the crop you performed, was a judicious one.

Good good balance and visual weight.

Colour is nice and vibrant. No apparent noise to my eyes, either. Good good stuff.


Caveats?

Have to forgive me here, Lyn.. as I can't recall the exact camera(s) you have in hand. Their individual specs.. on the note of in-camera functions with respect to possible Sharpness settings.

If I might suggest.. either, one.. turn down in-camera Sharpness and relegate that to that of post processing/editing more so.

Or.. while post-processing/editing.. being more mindful of Image Resizing, as well as and perhaps more importantly, Image Resizing and the Resampling options available to you via your image editor.

(Oh, and that of any Sharpening techniques/methods employed.)

Let's see if I can find the relevant tutorial/article..

... ...

Found it: Image Interpolation Options When Resampling Images

(/\ This is for Photoshop, however and whichever image editor you are using.. things should be similar.)

Long story short.. Sharpening ... courtesy of UPDIG Photographers Guidelines.

(/\ The 'short' being.. I didn't attempt to 'splain things (which is never.. ahem.. 'short').)


/\ Some creative food for thought for you.

As the grain is just on the border.. in my opinion.. of being over-sharpened. Feel you could dial things back a tad and not have your image here suffer any real loss of detail/clarity in the viewer's eyes.

That stuff aside..


Very nice shot. Sincerely.

And but, of course.. thanks for sharing this one with us. :o)

I would think the birds would be flocking to this beautiful spot, LE.
Colors are really crisp. A lot of landscape for such a little camera. Bravo!

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

This image is right down my alley Lyn. If you were going for a natural image I would say a tad overboard with sharpening but from viewing it full screen I see a lot of relief involved as to give it a painted texture feeling. That makes a gorgeous painting. Anyway I'm saving it in my painted images file.:)

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.

beautiful panoramic view with this low angle shot of the grain field. The clarity and focus are very good overall.

Lyn - I like the foreground wheat fill in half the image, offering a different composition, with the horizontal lines of the background scene.

I like how this turned out Lyn, the wheat is fine pencil sharp, and yet the back ground is softer, which makes the wheat take full attention. tigs =^..^=
