Gorgeous colours and light! Love it!

Great color! Is that a Panasonic (not sure who has model DMC-FZ20)? You really caught the cornfield at the right time - it looks like it is all orange across the top.

Excellent!

Bill S.

Later: Never mind, just googled it. I thought it was, I have a Panasonic LC20 with the Leica lens. I have a little trouble getting good low-light shots, but I love the way the colors show up. Love that Leica lens!

I agree with holly yvonne. It's so painterly, so dramatic, almost like a dream. The colours are fabulous and the composition is beautiful, too.

Those colors blow me away. Corn fields are about all you see where I live. (Illinois) So I can definitely relate to it. And what a gorgeous, unusual looking sky! Love it. :)

Rare storm light. Eerie to be abroad in light like that. We got weird light here one time during an eclipse. Yeatsian kinda half-light. You made powerful use of it here with this tree-framed cornfield.

Steve took it says:

Wow, I'm really impressed with the reaction to this shot. Thanks much all.

Several folks asked - and the answer is these were the actual real colors, no post production colors added or tweeked. It was an impressive red sun bathing everything after the storm before it just suddenly went under - like a light had been switched off. Since this shot went over so well, I'll post more from the same light and you can see what an intertesting night it was. I'm really happy so many like the composition.

Thanks again all

Not sure what you think was photoshopped Paul. This was the storm and sunset colors.
Posted 39 months ago. ( permalink )

BOCTAOE says:

@Steve - Probably it was the Photoshop listing in the "More Properties" portion.

@Paul - I use photoshop sometimes to crop and zoom, without adjusting color tones. It'll still say that, doesn't mean it was adjusted.
