I believe I'll make this a Dudley Farm series like Paul's BIF:S3: This was a tobacco barn to the left of Maureen's post. It was a 6 image HDR processed in Photomatix. I used a little Topaz Simplify on it and reduced the saturation a tad.
Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions appreciated.
This is one cool place to photograph, I will have to check it out next time in Florida. Nice scene, like the shadows on the wall of the tobacco shack...nice work
Hey, Paul, thanks. You'll be seeing a lot more from there (just let me know when you're sick of them:bg3:).
Here's another version that has an added layer of Topaz B&W with a slight vignette. I'm not sure which I like better.
Really nice, Cheryl. I think you captured the tranquil simplicity of the place wonderfully. I prefer the repost, but both are great.
Cheryl, Excellent job with the filtering. I like the second one with the toned down greens. The URC seems a tiny bit cut off, if you have a tiny bit more on top I would add it and then take a sliver off the bottom if not I would take a small slice off the top and clean up the top edge. I like the composition with the three trees lined up and the building.
Cheryl, the repost does it for me...and I would second Denise's suggestion RE the composition. Nicely seen...the filtering adds a muted, almost painterly/sketched quality to the image.
Very nice. Maureen said it best. a tranquil calm scene. (nice processing)
The composition is very nice and I prefer the repost also. I would love to go there myself! All of your images show how interesting and photogenic it is.
I like both versions. Lovely work. Nice composition and excellent processing. The combination of HDR with filters gives it a painterly feel that is quite realistic. The only change I might make is to darken the bright spots in the barn foundation, and perhaps darken the fence on the right border. Excellent work!!
Hi Cheryl, good comments already given above. This is such a photogenic looking location..keep 'em coming! I actually prefer the original post as the light appears to be less harsh than in the repost.
