HeyHey,
Here's my second shot from this morning. I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. For once I didn't go out shooting 50/150shots and instead tried to get good shots first as opposed to taking lots and hoping that a few turned out well when I check them later on the computer.

I'd love to hear your opinions on this, Thanks again!

I assume the horizon was not level where you were shooting??

I'm a sucker for light rays coming through tress and the like and as such, I love this. My only criticism is that the trees look a bit washed out. I would like to see them more properly silhouetted, deep black in colour

Its great, but I agree, boost the shadows!

what they said. More contrast, stat!

Excellent shot. How do you iliminate purple fringing? I can see a tiny bit when i look real closely, around the trunk of the leftmost and rightmost trees.

Really a cracking shot. well done.

Thanks for the comments and advice folks.
It's actually a hdr shot done up quickly (and my first..maybe second at that). I might spend a bit more time on it later. The horizon line is pretty much right, when your standing there the fields go down on the right and there's a hill on the left. It might need to be tweaked a tiny bit, but from looking at the tree's it's fairly correct.

I'd assume thats an element of the lens construction?

What was it shot with?

A beautiful shot well done to capture it, Also agree with all C&C above

Well done - nice sun rays indeed.

Must give this HDR business a go!

There's some nasty fringing present.

It was taken with a 30D & 17-85. I'd say it's more to do with the HDR Processing than the lense...

Thanks for all the comments

I've tweaked the shot a little, bit of an improvement?

Nice work,you've really caught the atmosphere of a crisp misty morning.I have to say I prefer the first one,in the 2nd one I think the colours are a bit over saturated and it takes away from the natural look.
