Bronzed Prairie

Parnell,

Thanks for posting and welcome to NPN and the Landscape/ESS gallery!

I too love how the summer grasses light up in early or late light. I think you've captured that well and you had a nice complimentary sky to go with it.

I think what may feel off to you is the color or white balance. It's almost like you had it on "cloudy" because in looking at it, it could stand to have quite a bit of blue removed from the grasses, bumping the red and green channels to give this more of a golden color to the grasses, which one would expect during the time of day. I'd play with the color balance a little if you want. I don't know what you're using for editing and I couldn't tell you anything about adjusting in RAW or Lightroom... But a simply adj layer in PhotoShop could correct this pretty quick you're using that.

I'm sorry Parnell, but I'm gonna have to ruin just your second post here. Lots of folks overlook this in the beginning, but I'm going to move this to the Man & Nature gallery after posting my comment. The reason is, the "hand of man" and the fence. The fence provides a nice line pulling the viewer "down the line" so to speak, but it also means it belongs in the M&N Gallery. Hope you understand and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Welcome!

I like the warm colors of the grass and cool blues in the sky Parnell. The line of fence posts are a good lead in. Welcome to M&N Gallery. Look forward to more of your work. Don't forget to comment on others posts. It helps in getting more attention and comment to your work.

A very pleasing scene, Parnell. The fence works well here and I really like the early morning light. This has a very nice wide open feel that I enjoy very much! I think you did a good job of putting us right there to enjoy the view.

I love the warm colors here. Nice composition....since I'm living in switzerland I love those wide open spaces

Good use of the fence, light and color. A wonderful image!
