Balsamroot & Barn

Hello all,

I just thought I'd see if there were any Orton fans out there. I think this image lends itself to the PS work. This is from Rowena in OR during the wildflower bloom that is happening now. It was quite windy this early Mon morning, so I needed a high speed on a 200 mm lens. So the ISO is quite high - 800.

Tell me what you think.

Kevin

Hi Kevin, We have tons of Orton fans at NPN and you are likely to find them scattered throughout all of the galleries as well as here at Photo Art and Series.

This is a beautiful scene and would make a beautiful card design in my opinion.

Great softness and a good composition.

I like the repetition of waving lines. Nice work. :toast:

Very impressive. I have to agree with Carol and say this would make a great card design.

Well if you check through here, you will find plenty Kevin. This has a great feel to it and quite some depth you have there BTW. Wonderful scene with great colours and lighting. Should be on a calender, this would be an excellent image for along those lines. Gorgeous shot and work.

All the best Kevin and more please :toast: :toast:

Danny.
