I noticed, no uploads in a while, Kim. Have you moved on to greater personal challenges?

Looking into the photo my eye gets sucked right back through the meadow to the mountain behing, a wierd feeling of movement. Beautifully taken Kim. Alison

Actually, I find the photo has more of a green cast to it than blue. I'm used to seeing this area in a sandy, yellow-greyish hue, however that's not to say it can't look more lush at times (plus, I really like the colour of the greygreenblue scrub in the foreground). Out of all the colour variations posted here, I have to say I like Chris' version the best.
This is a well seen photo . . . I like the composition, although I wish you had just a bit more height so the foreground scrub didn't interrupt the line of the road. The lighting here is really phenomenal, the way it falls off around the edges of the photo - is that a PS tweak, or a fortuitous natural occurence? Whatever it is, it looks great.

That looks better! I hope you don't mind but I took a stab at it. Not actually being there I guess at what the natural color was.

Wonderful scenery. The image you posted with the boosted color sure looks better in the foreground, but it looks overdone in the sky. Maybe you could try a mask to balance the effect.

Fun to read the comments as I recorded all the same impressions... The blue tint is there I think (in both images), but some of it could be a blue tone in the foreground groundcover and maybe also a haze in the distance. I don't we can determine any tilt although I too get the sense of that from the landscape. Ther is a great sense of "pull" towards the center (down that road :-) - it seems that all elements conspire to create that effect!

The thing that I like best about this shot, Kim, is the way the cloud formation draws the eye right into the valley! Gret colors! Kathy

Wow - Kim, what a breathtaking landscape! I'm guessing you used the widest focal length of that lens for this - it really conveys the sense of expansiveness. I love the little road meandering through the scene - heck I love the whole scene! I don't know if it's the larger swell of the hills on the right, but it feels slightly tilted to the left?

Hi Chris, Thanks for the comment... I'll have to take it into PS and try to counter the blue... it was shot with the old 100F.. we haven't got the new one here yet. But we still have the 50. which I've heard they are discontinuing... I'll have to stock up soon!

Nice composition Kim, I do find the overall image a tad to "blue" though. Was this blue cast intentional? Was this shot on the new Velvia 100 or the older 100F?
