Once There Was...

sooo nice I like it

majestic shadow...

Beautiful perspective!!

great gradation

Once There Was... by .: Philipp Klinger :..

Summer. Not much left these days, but i decided to not post another fall photo today ;)

Another one from my bale of straw series i forgot to post earlier

Technique/Processing

Yes, it's a DRI again and again automatically merged in Photoshop using Mean Stacking Mode from Photoshop's Smart Objects.

Cross Processed using Curves (just dragged the R,G and B curves as long till i was pleased with the colors) and the added the always nice glamour glow to the sun to make it softer.

Finally i decided to strengthen the shadow of the bale by creating a new empty layer in overlay mode and painting with a black brush at 35% opacity.

mav_at says:

Ganz fantastisches Licht, aber - um ein wenig konstruktive Kritik zu üben - ich finde es etwas zu symmetrisch, und das liegt an der Position des vorderen Heuballens. Der könnte durchaus etwas weiter rechts sein, Richtung Goldener Schnitt. Trotzdem wunderbare Stimmung!
