Pasture Reflection

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted April 8, 201094 views5 comments

I'm not sure how this will be seen in this gallery, I had to turn the image quaility all the way down to 4 to to get the file size down to 200KB. Any idea way this would be? Most of my photo fall between the image quaility settings of 6 and 8 to get the file size needed for this site.
This was taken last spring when the pasture flooded by this old barn I like photographing, I thought this would add a different comp to go along with the others I have.
Manual Exposure with tripod, 1/50sec, F/16, ISO 100, RAW conversion in Canon's DPP.
Thanks for looking and all C&C welcomed.

Not sure about your technical issue. Maybe all the fine details in the grass are pushing the file size up?

As for the image, I love it! This is a unique and unusual capture of an old barn. I LOVE old barns. My only thought might be to crop up from the bottom just a smidge to eliminate the brown grasses in the LRC. Other than that, lovely and creative image.

A unique view of a great old barn. Well done.

This is a cool shot, John. I love old barns too, and this is a unique shot of this one. I also think a small crop off the bottom just above the brown grass as Angela suggested would be better, maybe making the green grass to water about the same distance as in the upper left corner. I think that would enhance the feel of the s curve of the water too. I enjoy looking at this.

Very interesting shot John. I'm inclined to join the chorus for cropping the FG, but the reflection is a great subject.
