Horsey Windpump, Norfolk

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted August 31, 20062,136 views15 comments

Taken on a cold winter's afternoon in the Norfolk Broads, a region in the east of the UK.

Given the PS work I applied to it (a dose of diffuse glow to make the reeds stand out against the sky) I'm not sure if this image should be placed in the Photo Art forum. Moderators, please feel free to re-locate it if you think it necessary!

Canon 20D and EF 17-85mm lens. 1/50 second at f/18.

What a superb shot, I love all the processing you have done as it does nothing but make this image really special, almost a historical feel. A tad more sharpening perhaps but what a shot.
