From my nature walk last friday. This farm and it's acreage sits along side the nature trail.There is a bridge that crosses a river here and was probably used by the farmers at one time, but now it's fenced off.

I used the Dynamic-Photo HDR program on this one. I used only 1 image (more for the color enhancement than anything else) I actually took down the saturation alot on this one.

I do want to know what you think since I'm trying something new, and all comments are appreciated.

Thanks in advance for the pro's and con's.

Another good use or should I say under-use of the program Tigz. I like the lighting in this one. The shadows look good too. You are doing good with the program. I imagine this shot was fine without the FDR. Good post.

How warm the sun. The image is really nice colorwise and perspective wise. You have that program down really well to get such nice results. I keep trying the trial one, but am not very successful.

The golden open field in combination with the blue sky is stunning. I like how the fence / road leads the viewer in. Wonderful capture Sandi & the HDR treatment suits it perfectly.

You've put me on your nature walk with you and I'm enchanted with what I see. I'm struck by the cloudless deep blue sky. It draws me forward on the path. Wen

Putting your pictures in my favorites is the highest honor I can give you. If I could, I would give you an award. But alas, I cannot. So the highest praise I can award you with, is faving your artwork.

A very good landscape picture, good composition and colors but the only thing that bothers me is the white and red building or whatever it is, which distract the eye from an otherwise good picture.

Hi All, if you see my initials on you latest upload you will know that I have had a good look at your photo, but at the moment, I'm getting over 200 friends a day, and I just cant keep up with you all, sorry, but I will look, but at times I wont be able to make many comments....No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

Ahh, so peaceful, and deep in the color of summer! There's a real problem with HDR, with people crossing the boundaries of "too much", but you stayed well within the "good job" range. =)

Even though I live in the cold north of Finland, I consider myself a summer person. And one day I gotta visit USA, I wanna drive the Route 66 with my camera. This pic is something akin to what I wish to see on the way.
