snow on the fields

[Chairman Bill]

A light dusting overnight

I like the subtle colors, especially in the sky. I know I will get c**p about the suggestion though that IMHO the upper 1/3 to 1/2 doesn't work FOR ME. And since I've jumped in with two left feet, I'd also trim a little of the foreground as well. Other than that, a very peaceful scene. And the thought occurs to me that, uncropped, perhaps the f/g works with the extended sky. Anyway, FWIW.

[Chairman Bill]

Thanks for that. At least you had something to say about it. Everyone else obviously thought it too boring to comment.

[Chairman Bill]

And... just to add

[David Eckels]

Another nice peaceful scene! No cropping this time The path and the road make a nice triangle element connecting the distant farm buildings.
We've had similar weather here in Arizona; check out Snow Caps in this UC section. That was this morning. Snow on cactus!

Not fair! After a busy day of work, I’m just getting to emails and the forum now... beautiful, subtle hues. Not boring at all!

I love the subtle colours in the fields a little like the 70's habit of colour washing wooden furniture, coloured but leaving the grain visible. Ken

The details in the centre against the diffuse surroundings really make this work. You could even try toning down the sky a little.

Bill.

It seems to me that main subject matter is predominantly to the left hand side of frame, the shapes and different colours, so including the right of frame seems unnecessary and detracts from the cohesive synergy in the right of frame.

Were it taken vertically that would have solved the conundrum, but perhaps a square crop, removing the 50% right of frame?

The yoni is invoked here, the squiggly path, the green and brown, the delineation lines of white and the black eyeliner, a soft limited colour palette, it's lovely.

The “hue” which is 180 degrees away from orange / brown - is the primary colour “Blue”. A darker, greyer “sea blue” would be the natural opposite to brown. Your green and your blue are clearly tertiary colours and contiguous to either other on their wheel.

Is this okay, to reply with an example? If not, please excuse me.

[Jeremy Roussak]

I can't say I like that crop, Fata. It loses any sense of spaciousness and feels cramped.

Viewed here it is really not very good, but opened up in PS, it takes on a far greater spaciousness.
