A Scene of Iowa - ca. 1850

[mholt]

One of my favorite portrayals of Iowa. All I did was add the brown tones and maybe turn down a bit of the saturation. I turned the exposure down on the camera and made sure I got up early in the winter morning during sunrise for the haze and mist. This about 210 miles outside of where I live, though.

Would love feedback, comments, and suggestions.

great shot, certainly pulls the emotion. The only complaint I have is the slight unevenness in brightness on the right edge. on the bottom theres almost a ridge of darkness which distracts my eye, along with that slight ring in the upper-right hand corner. Not entirely necessary, but some quick photoshopping would bring that right out.
I like your other photos too, but you need to redo your link to your page at the bottom of your post - doesnt go direct.

Thanks for the critique. I'll look into taking out that ring. As for the ridge, that's gotta stay It's a natural formation.

And thanks, too, I'll fix the link in my sig.

Any others? I doubt this is that perfect...

hey hey, its your ridge, your rules! but yea, I'd definitely take out that ring of glare.
