Maybe it's because I've been working around vineyards off and on for 30 years that I see this as just a rehash of dozens upon dozens of photos. Not that it's a bad photo - it's well done, but, personally, I'd like to see something more creative. Different lens, lower/higher angle, someone in the vineyard .... looks like it was shot in the latter part of the day ... maybe a warmer tone would help. Those golden hills can really glow around 8:30pm or so. Actually, the color looks a little odd to me - can't quite explain it - what color space are you using on this one? > I also tried to play with it a little bit, creating what I associate > with Nikolai Roerich's "himalayan" sky colors. > http://www.komkon.org/~igor/PHOTOS/CentralCoastCA/IMGP3615sm3.jpg An odd color sky doesn't help make this any more interesting. Maybe changing the colors of the vines and the hills as well, adding a more abstract or surreal look might do something. The lines of vines might be put to more interesting use with further manipulation. You've gone part way, why not see what happens when you go all the way? > This place looks unreal to me, both in reality and on the photo. > Toyland: > http://www.komkon.org/~igor/PHOTOS/CentralCoastCA/IMGP3627sm.jpg Agreed. Maybe a B&W conversion would enhance the "unreality" even further. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
