A fence just for Rel. Not sure if it really works.

interesting shot... I love the partly silouted tree and the hills in the distance give it a good feel... but I'm not so sure the fence adds to the pic... but I spose u just can't go rip it down for hte sake of another shot... :lol:

very nice image

I like the way the sun is just obscured by the tree. Nice muted brown tones in the grass.

The sky could use some boosting - more saturation in the blue or by adding more black to the blue in photoshop

I really like this photo and would be interested to know shutter speed and aperture as I struggle when taking photos into the sun.

Nice shot :)

Good capture....... it is hard getting shots correct shooting into the sun, I find this image a little flat and lacking in colour........ you could have a play with saturation and levels or curves on each colour channel then add a blue grad to the sky to give it some colour....... the large border also takes away from this shot and the type is also too large as you want people to look at your image not the type and border

The photo was taken with a D50 and the 18-55mm kit lens.

Focal length: 18mm
Shutter: 1/2000th
Aperture: 3.5
Aperture priority
ISO: 200

I used the above settings because that was what I used for the previous shot. :D

I'm having problems with doing colour adjustments as my monitor went ka-blewie and I'm using an old one that has a blueish tinge. :(

My personal view is that it is a nice image spoilt by a chicken wire fence. Now it it were a timber post and rail..................... :D

But that wouldn't keep the chickens in.

I think if the fence were more country-ish looking it would make it a stunning image. As it is it's a great capture anyway!
