From the "Show me something I haven't seen before (http://www.luminous-landscape.com/about/contributors/my_photographic_journey.shtml)" department. Suggestions welcome.

The white object in #2 is a plastic bag, 2 m diameter, 30 m long. This is what is now used for storing grain.

Interesting set that works well together!  I particularly like #1 which says so much with very sparse information.
My color perception isn't reliable but to me the straw in #3 is a bit on the red side.

Nice series, like them all. Excellent use of "empty" space to highlight the main subjects.

Thanks, Chuck and Paulo.

The flax straw is red from the setting sun, this is the same time and place as the bins in #2. Couldn't decide between dialing it up or down, so left it close to natural, as usual.

I think #3 is excellent, just the kind of sparse/minimalist abstract type of landscape image I really enjoy looking at.

Thanks to all for the feedback. Poor Dave, trapped amongst all that scenery.

Scott....very nice shots for a series!  Have you looked at two with the sod/turf cropped off? /B

Thanks, Brandt! Yes, I cropped some messy stuff off the bottom, and settled on this. I did wish the machines had left a uniform dark foreground.

I have now dealt with it to a large extent by simply darkening the foreground. Good suggestion.
