    Another photo of Beniel and Emma's shocks of tobacco, this time looking towards their barns.

    Basic adjustment layers, plus: Topaz Detail >Lithograph, Color Efex Pro >Graduated Neutral Density, Viveza, and 3 textures.

    Anita, very creative and unique composition! Like the vertical frame, and nice texture to the tobacco leaves and like the contrast of layers between leaves, house and sky. Textures look great in the sky, just wish you posted a larger size to see it better.

    Hi Anita, I like your composition and even though the tobacco leaves are the majority of the image it seems to work for me with the buildings adding a sense of place. If this were mine I would do 2 things. First I would take out the lines in the sky since they cause undo attention and secondly I might add a bit more contrast to give it more dimension. Very creative!

    Hi Anita, Great colors and textures. Love the diagonals of the tobacco rows. Very autumn like feel. Great work.

    Anita, there's a myriad of textures and gold tones here...I love the composition but might be tempted to tighten it just a bit, cropping some from the bottom to just where the darker area of tobacco is on the LHS...just below the first full row of shocks. I love the contrast that the barns and sky bring to this...Dave makes a good suggestion about cloning out the two lines in the sky..wonderful textures in the treeline as well. Nicely done!!!

    Anita, I love this one! The contrast seems fine to me. I might crop a sliver off the bottom to eliminate the triangle as suggested by John. I could go either way with the lines in the sky. Nice work Anita!!

    Love it, Anita. Great leading lines and texture! The crossed wooden stakes/boards are a perfect (familiar) repeating element and keep me grounded as I explore the massive leaves. Neat image!

    This is one outstanding image, Anita! It looks like it could be a painting. The composition is superb, and I love the textures and golden colors. Well done!

    One sweet image. The comp. and colors are fantastic as are the textures. I think that eliminating the lines in the sky is a very valid point. seems as if a good amount of work went into this and it paid off big time.
