Spring on a Farm

A picture I took about a month ago while on the backside of a pasture, where it meets the woods. Stray trees have grown up along the fence line (thanks to birds who sit and p**p out seeds they’ve eaten), but I thought it created a interesting image with little buds of leaves, the light hitting it, and the green pasture beyond.

Composition and subject are not all that, but I was drawn to the image many times in Organizer, so I decided to give it some PSE love. After that I just kept looking at it, despite its problems, so I thought I would share it here. Not everyones cup of tea, but a few may like it as I do.

For those curious: minor tweaks were done and then two textures (one Florabella and one Kim Klassen) were applied.

  3. this is a gorgeous image. It reminds me of a watercolor. Sometimes the simplest of images make the most beautiful images. Thanks for sharing !

  4. Nice image! I like the light in the background

  5. I love it. I need to get out with my camera more. I am “stuck in a rut.” I haven’t had the camera out for just taking pictures in awhile–buried under school work, obligations, and all that. Maybe this afternoon after the egg hunt and the sun comes out.

  9. Problems – what problems? It’s beautiful!

    • Betty, the picture isn’t quite balanced, something is a little off. That is okay, I figured if it kept drawing me back, then maybe it wasn’t half-bad. LOL

    • Sandy, I did a Levels adjustment to brighten the fence post and did a gradient to make the blue sky a little bluer, then added one Florabella texture and one Kim Klassen.
