Del I think you posted the right photo in the end- for some reason the neare to the ground images dont grab my attention as much as I thought they would. I like the way you have set up the original with the rows radiating out. Pretty crop - nasty habit!

Gabrielle Your comment and Jimmy was nearly the same. Please see my response to Jimmy. I also tried a shot from ground level. Yes my knees were already dirty from fishing. I will show you that effort also. Del.

Jimmy, Thanks for your suggestion. Both you and Gabrielle made similiar suggestions. Actually when I filmed I took about 6 angles trying to experiment. I took two shots at about the angle I think you had in mind. I even took one from below the plants. Because the leaves blocked a shot down each row I decided to use the one I did. I will you and Gab. one from that angle and please let me know whatyou think. I am trying to learn and appreciate advice. I will be watching for you Az postings too. Del.

Love that dirt, especially since it's dry; and, I love the shade of green of the plants. Gabrielle has a good point on a different perspective for a shot of this field. Getting down low enough at the end of the rows and aiming your camera just over the tops of the tobacco plants should produce a dramatic photo.

I like this shot. I would possibly like it EVEN more if you were on the ground looking along the rows. Yes you will get dirty knees..

Somebody needs to be hoeing weeds! That used to be my job. Hated it! I grew up on a tobacco farm in Kentucky. Raising tobacco is hard work.
