Default A bit cloudy

First time poster here. This is a shot from an apple picking trip from a couple years back. Not great weather for apple picking but great weather for photos. This shot was tweaked in Aperture to bring out the detail in the clouds.

Well welcome to DPS - you will learn heaps from what others are doing and comments about your shots.

I like the composition of your shot and the path leads you past the tree. Good colour and sharpness. Well done. Keep it up. Cheers, Bernz

its a great shot despite the low light all the same an inspiring first post.
i would have fun with this converting it to greyscale and whacking that sky and clouds up
that would make it oh so moody!! Im not blowing my own trumpet here but check out what i did with my shots-http://www.flickr.com/photos/41582091@N03/page2/ or in my albums on DPS
cheers mike
ps experimenting is rewarding!!

Welcome to DPS!

This is a great place to lean and share and I hope you have fun with it. I like the placement of the tree on the left and the path that runs through your shot.♠
