A good suggestion, but my customers usually want 12 x 18 or 11 x 17 prints that
will fit precut 16 x 20 mats. As seen, the image is sized for 12 x 18. And I
don't list any non-standard crops on my price sheets. The cost of mass
production:-).

Thanks. You're right, the tree should go. An easy clone job.

I have seen many corn fields with roads in front of them. I read your question
before viewing the example and so, yes, I noticed the difference in angle, but
it looks totally natural. Leave it as is.
Except for one very minor detail - the brightness of the right-hand rear-view
mirror caught my a

Hi Paul
Maybe because I've grown up in Nebraska and have seen so many
cornfields, this looks natural to me and is not a distraction. If you
tilted the shot to make the tops of the corn horizontal that would
make the corn stalks and trees look odd.
I think the only way to tilt the shot would be
Paul, if you can clone out the branches on the back - it would be a
far better picture, IMO.
I think that the way the horizontals are presented is just fine. At
least as far as this very viewer goes.

Only farmers will even notice the corn and they'll complain that it
isn't the focal point. Big city magazine photo editors? Not so much.
Beauty of a Mopar!

my two cents is that the degree of blurriness of the cornfield isn't
enough - or should be totally sharp. I agree about the tree.
don't mind the corn slant.

Paul,
Would you consider making the car run downhill?
I know you wouldn't be photographing the driver's side, but...
The dual horizons is a bit unsettling.

Of course you should be here, Ann! I agree that more blur in the corn would be
nice, but it's shot wide open, so that's as good as it gets without
manipulation. And I usually don't like artificial blur in backgrounds, plus
doing it right is a lot of work.. The magazine art directors will have th

I rather doubt most of the car owners would even be able to tell you what is in

Seems to me that the car has a very slight slope of its own. That left
downward slant kinda balances out the left upward slant of the corn
stalks ... and so it looks just fine to me, as-is.
BTW, you can stretch the corn row level using the free transform tool
in a minute or two. Here's my try ...

I have to go through 600 Mopar Nats photos, so I understand your pain. So far,
I've rendered thee of the fourteen cars I shot.

Secret retouching technique! :-)
1. marquee from the top of the image down to just above the car's hood
and trunk (ie including as much corn as possible, but excluding as
much car as possible).
2. switch to lasso: hold Option and lasso around the roof of the car.
This will exclude the roof from th

Sorry to say, Paul.

You're welcome, Paul.
I forgot to mention: 11. return layer opacity to 100%, but that's
probably pretty obvious.
This technique is a great way to reduce lumps and bumps in people, as
in clothing, love handles, etc. Substitute the Warp tool for the
Distort tool.
On Tue, Aug 27, 2013 at 8:03 PM,
Use the free transform on a selection. Don't include the car in that
selection.
