Burnt harvest
This image is so different to all my shots from the Hunter Valley Wine weekend I've put it here on it's own. This was taken from the air thanks to my brief flight in Russell's chopper (thanks Russell) and screamed this type of treatment to me. Since it is a VERY different treatment to the standard picture postcard high sat stuff I'd be interested in your views. To see a much larger 1.8Mb version (recommended to see the grain and texture in the image) click the pic
EDIT: I really wanted to get this one right and have had a bit more play. I finally decided when I looked at this one large that the noise just didn't work. Here is the final version without noise. BTW the desolate look is because this particular vineyard has been cleared ready to plant new cuttings:  Last edited by stubbsy on Sun Feb 19, 2006 5:20 pm, edited 4 times in total.

That's really impressive Peter. Depressing but a stunning image.

Great post-processing Peter. Although after having just spent 2 days trying to get rid of excessive grain in my film scans, i have to say that i think you may have overdone the grain a bit too much, but that's my preference. Some grain is nice but yours looks like 3200asa film.
 However, I do realise that is the effect you are after and you've done well to obtain it.
I love the composition. Most unusual and intriguing. Steve.

Peter that is very creative and artistic. I like the grain in the shot, gives it an interesting texture. Also brings out the colour from the house out and makes the burnt effect blend into the untouched vines.
Peter, I don't mind the grain effect, I would have been tempted to use the history brush on the houses though, I think they may have been more of a focal point without the grain.

Peter, I like the treatment but think I would also prefer less grain
That is of course just a personal preference, go with what your happy with and see what the general audience says
An interesting and different treatment Peter and one which works well for this scene and perspective. We might begin to think that you were an impressionist painter in your first life. Well the Budhists among us may
cheers marco
Thank you all for your comments on this image. I really am pleased with this one and it seems it has a similar appeal to others. I'll add this to my 2006 best of!

Noise free version is better IMO Peter. The first had its merits but the image stands well without the extra treatment.

This is a high quality fine art image. It needs to be printed at around 20 inches on Hahnemule 100% cotton rag acid free paper, surrounded with an archival matt board and appropriately framed. Regards
Matt. K
Yes except for the stock:? 
Interestingly Matt I see you took a shot of the two sheds in this image. Peter

this effect looks very painterly would be cool to be used on live footage
the colours and tone are very appealing and nostalgic. were you in a helicopter Peter?
Thanks for your comments people. And Wendell, yes I was in Russell's chopper.
