Cornfield sunset

Cornfield sunset by James Jordan.
The setting sun paints the sky beyond a cornfield in northern Illinois. A blended shot of two exposures - one for the sky and one for the cornfield - blended in Photo Shop. Poor man's HDR.

An earlier attempt at shot blending can be found here.

I wondered how the light could be coming from two directions. The effect works well to create a dramatic shot.
