My Way Home (C & C)

AlisonB

Another shot taken tonight. I've called it "My Way Home" because i can just see myself taking that shortcut

You'll have the whole board full at the exhibition
Nicely done.

I like the shot. Some adjustments I might make:

The grass/crops seem to blur together a bit much. Maybe its just a low resolution image.

I'd cut off about a third of the sky at the top.

I'd remove that blurry bit of plant in the bottom right, its quite distracting.

Thanks guys for the response.
I really like the negative space in the shot to be honest. I think my aim was to basically give the viewer the feeling that they are actually in the field opposed to just looking at a picture - the "blurry bit" at the side helps create this.

Nice subject, lovely skies. Contrast is not ideal for my liking and I'm not convinced about the blurry bit but you're on the right track. Well done.

Love your skys.
How do you do your B&W conversions, their very soft.

Morlar

Cant really think of any useful criticism right now but - I like it a lot!

Colour, why no colour?

Can I put in a second request for a colour version?

Although I do think this has a dreamlike quality to it.

It does have a dreamlike look to it. In fact I think I woke up in a field just like that once, back in my wilder days!!!:D It was black and white and very blurry for an hour or two

Colour version please!!!

Thanks everyone for feedback. I'll edit it tonight for colour and see how it turns out, if it doesnt work out i'll let you know. I have a few ways of converting to monochrome usually the conversion is done with the "solid color" option in the layer palette and sometimes using calculations.

Yeah, I think it'd be better in colour.
