Hello again

I cropped out some of the grass in order to reduce the halving effect of the water. I also used Hard Light in the Blending options, (Thank you Pshorten and wattsbw2004).


Thank you.

I agree...hmm...I love that sky, the water and the rolling hills all by themselves--very moody feel!

My favorite part of the image is the fence. Yes maybe it clutters the shot, but it gives it context and a bit of mystery. Is this taken from the front yard of an abandoned house? Is someone down on their luck and the storm is just one more thing in a string of bad times. Or maybe the horses got spooked by the storm and trampled it...

Well done.
