Kansas Flinthills

[Anita Rakestraw]

My version of the "in the round" images. :)

Taken Dec. 2007 with 1DMIII, 24-70mm
ISO = 200, f/3.5, 1/1600, FL - 60
Tripod

It should have been sharper, I'm not sure what I did wrong....?
I put a gradient on the sky in PP.
Looks to me like it could use a bit of a clockwise rotation.

Hi Anita, very nice! How did you do it?
If it is Flexify,you have a box with a grid to control the horizon and proportions.
Let me know to see if I can help. It does look like a needs the rotation :)

[Anita Rakestraw]

Thanks, Fabs. I just used the Circle in PSP X2's Geometrics effect. (I do have CS2, but usually use PSP.) I used the color edge mode with black as my foreground color. Then added canvas as necessary and cropped to the size/proportion I wanted.

[Fabs Forns]

OK, then select the blacks with the magic wand, invert the selection and rotate the circle a little bit.
The gradient looks fine to me.

Hi Anita..
I like the way this treatment has emphasized this landscape.. it gives it a nice urgency.. and yet it recalls quite well my time in the flint hills last year....
nice work

[Anita Rakestraw]

Thanks, Judd and Kenn! The circle treatment makes those hills stand out a little more, doesn't it?!

[Alfred Forns]

Love it as presented Anita !!!! I think the curvature adds to the image !!!! Sweet Looks like is right out of the Sphere World !!!! Big Congrats !!!!!!!!

[Anita Rakestraw]

Thanks, Al! I think the curvature adds to it too.

Cool look. I like how the grasses at the bottom point up into the frame. Even with something this radical you are using leading lines.
